I've got a kit car that I bought ready built and would love to build one from scratch. However lack of space dictates that it's not going to happen so I'd be happy to lend a hand to anyone within reasonable distance of where I live to help build or finish their car.

I've got good hand skills, a good toolbox, can use most tools and have a well equipped triple garage workshop so can do odd bits here.

Done quite a bit of car repair work over the years but more than happy to do things "your way" if you like. I'm not looking to take over your project, just lend a hand to get it on the road. I'm pretty good at electrics and spannering and mechanic stuff, not much exp of painting though and I HATE rubbing down paintwork but am very good at fibreglassing and mouldmaking

Say anywhere up to an hour from St Neots in Cambridgeshire?

No money involved, just fancy doing this for fun.

Oh and you've got to have a good sense of humour 'cos I do take the p88s a bit.

That's a very nice offer. Don't have a kit car, but have a virtual beer

...HOW good at fibreglassing and mould making? I have a project that needs some pretty serious moulds taking from the existing bodywork - most likely while they are still attached. A complete nightmare to do. Interested?

The car is all but finished though thanks - just in the bodyshop for paint as we speak.

I've got a Dax de dion cobra about 75% finished, near st ives. I'm getting up a head of steam for first engine start in next few weeks. I'd be very grateful for a second pair of eyes to have a look at what I've done so far and help me get over the finish line. Beer may be involved.
