Over the last few months we have been busy sourcing parts and liaising with AK Sportscars in respect of requirements for our rolling chassis's. Alan's has already been built, the other two are in progress ready for our collection scheduled late August. We plan on making a visit mid July to take a look at progress and to drop off some parts (steering wheel boss etc).
We have been looking at a few firms to transport the rolling chassis's, and it looks like we may go with Straight Eight Logistics. They have a 3 car covered transporter so all can be shipped at once and save on costs.
So far we have purchased the following, all of the firms in question have been really helpful: -

A quick update on the garage situation at mine (timber framed garage). The date for delivery and erection has been brought forward to next week with the tiling being completed a few days later. We will then be busy kitting it out with insulation, power, lighting and some flooring. The flooring will more than likely be coming from Plasfloor, they do some excellent tiles and it will really finish off the garage..
I will post a further update when there is more to share, and maybe some photos of the garage....
