Default Do not get too despondent

Hi Guys,

We will all have our own stories in regard to our build, mine is a little different to most:-

November 2003 ordered 5EXi at MPH03 motor show at Earls Court.

24th December 2003 had heart attack. Wife threatens to cancel order as it will be unlikely that I will ever complete the car.

February 2004 Terry phones and says part 1 is ready, small problem, Iam still not allowed to drive. A good friend of mine collects part 1 for me.

May 2004 Chassis looks good sitting in garage, untouched!

June 2004 Son buys donor.

At last I can start, by November the engines in and started. Collect body.

More heart troubles slow things down til late February.

Great strides made through til July and then a week ago further hospital in treatment. But.......................

My SVA is set for 18th October and what a motor!!!!!!!!!

So what nearly 2 years from the date ordered.

Do what you can, when you can and enlist the help of friends.

Best wishes to all builders
