I've probably said many times before, I get a lot of enjoyment out making stuff. I guess I could have bought an off the shelf kit and bolted it on. But part of the reason I think a lot of us build these cars is that we put a lot of ourselves into them. It's a challenge to make the parts yourself, to learn new skills, to think something through and then build it.

I've got no formal training in any of this machining stuff. I did 1 year of metal work at high school and never touched a lathe in the whole time. Learning these skills has been a lot of fun and a great mental excercise.

Cheers
