Outsourcing my build, any recommendations??
Discussion
Brought a 1/3 completed kit but work, wife and 2 kids under 2 has meant I haven't had time to go near it for four weeks.
Options are:
Revise my build schedule to oh, around 5 years at this rate OR
Outsource/hire someone to complete certain parts (as finance allows).
This may be unholy talk on this forum but anyone got any recommendations*??
Cheers,
Robin.

If money is not a problem, then have a word with the factory. They can give you a price for any part of the build you are unable to, or reluctant to do yourself.
Sounds pricey, I know, but they can do the work in a fraction of the time in takes most others to do.
Failing that, try one of the lads who used to work there. I think he has set up on his own?

The chap who left the factory to set up on his own sounds interesting, anyone have his email/contact details?
Ideal scenario for me is that someone could give me a day or two a month for a good rate at my location (Aldridge, West Midlands) with me standing there handing spanners and generally looking like one.
I did speak to the factory but their rates are rather high (but around market value for mechanics I guess).
Anyhow, still open for idea's, drop me an email.
Cheers,
Rob.

what happened to your workshop?
Couldn't justify the rent given that I didn't really have a use for it anymore. Once the Mustang mods were done, I built a large shed in the garden and moved everything back home!what happened to your workshop?
My brother is out of the car business too these days (now developing property - great timing eh
) so we gave up the lease.My mate is still there next door though.
Are you boys referring to SSS by any chance? I was lucky, VERY lucky ( Lucky W?, nah, sounds like a ranch or something equally unappealing 
) as most know and had Clive build my car for an extremely modest rate but alas, he has since fled these shores for a new and more rewarding life in Canada 
. SSS is most definitely the man you want to use. He is clever, quick, meticulous and above all else, a very nice fella. He is situated in Nuneaton and so geographically, quite close.
