I work in the IT industry, like most I like to find things to do outside of work that are completely different. One passion I have is cars, I've always been interested in them and how they work but I have never had the time, money or determination to properly learn. That’s where this project comes in. It’s a tangible thing, where I can work with and understand physical things that are in front of me, more importantly its completely different. So much has changed in the IT world and everything is "Virtual" - it’s nice to do some proper work.
My main aim is to learn as much as possible, have fun and end up with an amazing kit car at the end. I have no particular time frame, it takes as long as it takes and the main barriers are money and my own time.
When I started my build our old Collie Jess was still with us, she enjoyed many a day sat sunning on the drive whilst I was working on the car in the garage. She managed to get to the old age of 17 before unfortunately we had to get her put down, but she had a good life. We still miss her greatly:
Now I have a new sidekick called Lucy only she is much more interested in the build and stealing parts whilst I am not looking! She's only a pup but is coming along well:
