Many thanks for the welcome and offers from locals to go view what their doing which I certainly shall, my loose plan is to initially get everything from Craig to get a rolling chassis, when ready trailer to his workshop and he says I can help put the body on and align it etc, then leave there with body fitted and all the rest of the bits to complete, do it in two stages So to speak. So there you go, easy peasy, bit of spannering few blows with a hammer and "bobs your scutter". (yeah right). Looking forward to having a go though, dreamed of this for years, only now got the time and money, could go the easy route and pay Craig to do it but the easiest path isn't always the right one, not for me anyway. All the best to everyone.
