Any Kit Car builders in the Littlehampton/Rustington area?
Discussion
Hi John.
I just thought I would say hello!
I live in Littlehampton,and am interested in kit cars. I am currently looking for ways to fund a sylva spectre build,but I tjhink that realistically I am looking at the beginning of next year for a start date!
My friend has just finished his mojo,though he is not local.
I just thought I would say hello to a fellow enthusiast.
Best of luck James.

Hi James,
Good to hear from you. I'm building a Porsche 550 replica starting in about July time. I don't know about you but I only have a single garage and was looking for somewhere local that is a little bigger where I can build it. My first thought was to try and rent a industrial unit, perhaps sharing the costs with other builders, but i realise, finding 4 other builders in the local area is a big ask! Where will you build yours?
Kind regards,
John

Hi John.
I moved from a house with a garage in Rustington,to a house in Littlehampton without a garage.
So It looks like I will be building a covered area at the end of my garden!!
I dont yet know how to convince the missus that we need a covered area at that end yet,but I am sure I will think of something!
There is a 4'3" wide alley way running from the garden to the main road,so I am planning on building a rotating gimble on wheels to roll the car out on its side(,possibly with a foldable rollbar,if the IVA allows?) for the summer,and roll it back in again for the winter!
Well that's the plan for now,anyway.
I know it is a little convoluted,but I think having the car at the end of the garden to tinker with will be a huge advantage,rather than having to travel to get to it.
I will keep an eye out to see if you find any others locally.
Good luck.
Cheers for now,James.

I haven't used them myself, but may in the future - I did discuss some work with them but went with another company who were closer to home.

Hi Ken
Very pretty car.
In your mail you didn't say whose kit it is, do you know?
Do you know which Porsche the ring gear comes from? If it has broken teeth then there is little chance of repairing it but I think it will simply bolt on rather than being heated and shrunk into place so should be easy to change. I'm suspecting from your comment about the starter and reposition the ring that the starter is not seeing full engagement but there are plenty of options to resolve this. I had similar issues with my Ultima ring gear.
I look forward to seeing it in our workshop.
