New to kit cars from north east

[Miked5 1]

Hi guys,

Bought my first kit car last week and just got delivered today I am over the moon with it, can't wait to get tinkering over the winter. It's a Mazda GBS Zero which was IVA'd in 2019 and has only done 400 miles since, and bought at a bargain price may I add! 

Found a few small issues today that I can crack on with right away but the previous owner has done a great job the car is in great condition. 

The plan is to get used to driving it first (its my first kit car) then hopefully fit a td04 turbo which will get it to the bhp/ton of my previous car r35 GTR. 

If there are any owners in the north east near Barney then feel free to get in touch.

£6600 - new to kit cars but most that I saw for sale were 8k+ for finished articles.

Welcome to you both, it's a shame it is such a bad time for socialising as I would like to meet up with you, The N.E.area covers from Berwick in the North down to where you are, so in normal times we have two meetings a month, one in Darlington and one at Chester Le Street. Obviously at the moment all meetings are cancelled, but hopefully we can get them started again soon (wishful thinking?) Anyway welcome and keep in touch on the forum and don't hesitate to ask for help as some-one on here will have the answer.
