Gone and done it now!!!

[stig]

Well, due to a working stint at the NEC which found me a bit too close to Hinckley to avoid dropping in on Ted & Co. I've placed my order for a GTR!

Why do I think that the next 12 weeks are going to go by bloody slowly!!!!

Thanks chaps

Actually meeting Ted (wot a nice bloke!) made it a lot easier to make the decision.

Going with a Chevy - probably a 6.3 aiming with about 480bhp. I've got SO many questions!

Started getting prepared yesterday by buying an air rivetter. Just need to get some panel pins and sit on my arse for the next 3 months

We had a good laugh about me going from Locost to Ultima - well, you've got to try both ends of the kit, errr... I mean 'self assembly', car market

Regarding rivets - the ones shown on the build CD look V.small - 3/16 I s'pose but small heads. In Locost, quite a few of us use aircraft grade rivets which have much bigger (and better looking) heads of about 8mm diameter. Anyone see any problems with this?
