Hiya all.

I have seen the pics from your last meet and you all have some truly amazing looking cars. I am considering a Vortex build, I have not done a kit car before but I have loads of time on my hands and I love to look of this car. I am going to see Chris this Saturday and try to make my mind up once and for all!

I have my donor. A 1997 Rover 827Sli, its got quite high mileage but seems to be in good nick. I have done 3K in the last 3 months and all I can find wrong was a few minor electrical problems (now sorted) and one wheel bearing starting to go. Not bad for 400quid, even the air con works.

Any advice on things to keep my eye out for with these cars would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I start stripping her down in January (this was my original plan as that’s when T&T runs out) where would be the best place to start.

If I do start my build, I look forward to meeting some of you at some point.
