Most of you guys know me from Pistonheads but this looks like a welcome new home for those of us with grease to the elbows and heavy frowns putting a Vortex together

Mine's at rolling chassis stage (since last Autumn) and I hope with the warmer weather to get back on it and - maybe - get it done this year.
It's a very early shell that I took over as an un-stated project so it's lacking a few of the later mods. Norman changed the whole suspension as mine had dodgy early (weak) parts.

Bog standard low-miles manual 2.7 with air-con. Now getting on to electrics and thoughts of paint and trim. Not sure whether to get the body painted before dropping on to chassis - looks like some of you guys are doing it that way round. Colour choice keeps changing - was to be Peugeot Aegean Blue or Subaru WRC blue but quite fancy pealescent black. That Candy Red does look great on the "works" car. Also have a Corsa electric column and am looking to maybe build that in - not sure yet.

I'll keep you posted and put up some pictures when I get time.

Cheers
Greg
