Stroke of luck...........

looks like after months of delay I have officially started the build having managed to source a 2nd hand shell off ebay!

brand new untouched shell from pro-motive (Yamaha R1 engine conversions without modifying the shell) who bought the shell two years ago for their next project car but never started it.

Saved myself £800 off the new price so I am well happy, just need to collect it on the 31st and hand over the money.

Couple of jobs to finish on the van (sorting rust), need to redecorate the bathroom and keep up or get on top of my HNC studies so I can make a start!

now then what can I spend that £800 on.........!

The Van is Complete...........

well almost complete just a couple of finishing touches, but the start of the minus project is not in sight yet.





fingers crossed I can get to a couple of late summer events and to the 1st big one in Stafford to order my shell in 2011.

Was getting a bit disheartened but then watched "Love the Beast" about that Aussie actor who played the incredible Hulk something Bana and his classic Aussie muscle car he had from being a kid............then had it restored only too smash it up on its first outing IT WILL BE REBUILT hopefully soon!
