First Job

I thought I was slow

 

what parts are you waiting for? surely you must be running out of stuff to read through

Hi Martin,

 

Some of the best advice I had when starting my 2B Plus was from all the people that had actually built their cars.

 

I got loads of info and guidance from going to "The National Kit Car Show" at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire. Robin Hood Sportscars have a stand indoors, but the real knowledge is outside in the Robin Hood Owners enclosure.

 

Needless to say I'm still building my 2B but I will there again this year to ask more questions to the people that have spilt blood, sweat and tears to realise the dream.

 

The show is 30th April to 1st May 2006.

 

Cheers.

 

Jay.

[Guest klaxon]

it will become one of the 70%

Does this statistic refer to the number of cars that never get finished? If so I find that quite staggering.

Hi martin welcome to RHOCAR you should get throught the post a letter from robin hood that they will pay for your first years membership like i did you just fill in the form and maqic will happen maybe

Does this statistic refer to the number of cars that never get finished?

Not quite true but 70% don’t get finished by the original purchaser of the kit. That’s why you see so many “95% finished” (read 20%) cars for sale.

Try Colin Ushers Model Engineering Web Page Go to the Robin Hood 2B Kit Car Build Manual. 26 Chapters with 100's of photo's and AutoCad drawings.

I really couldn't care less if my kit takes the next 80 years to be finished, i only bought it for the experience.

I've since discovered i have less spare time than i thought i had, less garage space than i thought i had and less enthusiasm for cars in general than i once had.

 

I have my tin top for daily use, the kit is stainless so doesn't really suffer from weathering and I've got all the donor stuff cleaned, stored and labelled for future reference.

 

All i want to do is build the blasted thing, I'm not worried about driving it.
