Thanks Tricky, Dock and and Seriph for you advice and comments. Here's a few photos of progress so far, and a little background history.
36 years ago (1980) at the age of 20 I built my first ever kit car, which was a Burlington SS replica of a Morgan, based on a Triumph Herald. This picture was on the day my Dad and I collected the kit. We managed to load it all onto the roof of my Dad's car and transport it all the way from Leamington Spa to Leeds without losing any of it! 5 years later I built my second kit car - a Ford Capri based JBA Javelin.
After all this time, I have itchy spanners again, so I am now embarking on the third kit car build of the trilogy, and just before Xmas my Dad and I collected the new kit from Redditch. This time the kit was loaded into a hired van. I don't think we'd get away with loading up the roof rack these days!
In both pictures, we have my Dad chatting to the company owners (Hadyn Davies, and Brian), my kit loaded up in the background, and the car I will be building in the foreground. I just love the 'time travel' depicted in these photos. This was the first time my Dad had seen the 2Fifty in the flesh - and I think he approves looking at his reaction!
