Default Toms Tribute

Hi there, my name is tom. Whilst browsing the internet i came across the tribute mx250, straight away i knew this was the kit for me.
I have no mechanical experience, and love the retro 60`s style car.
My desire to build a kit has existed for over 10 years now and finally have the perfect car to build.
I currently work nights and 11 hour shifts 5 days a week so time is valuable to me
So my plans are as follows, buy a car with decent engine, replace suspension with new coilovers, replace brake discs and pad, fit induction kit, fit new wheels, change oil and filter, re furbish all interior, and of course fit the tribute kit.
I plan to learn every thing on youtube or google and good old trial and error.
Prior to writting this i succesfully bought a car off ebay for £400, delivered for £95. MOT failure due to broken suspension springs, engine and gear box are very nice, Jap inport no major rust issues at all.
I am now waiting for coilovers, induction kit, brake disc and pads, and wheels, oh and for it to stop raining.
I will post as many pics as possible to show how my progress is getting on.
Thanks Tom
