Building or built list
First of all happy new year to you all.
Secondly, I've been thinking (always a bad sign). There are lots of potentially useful photos in people's archives but because it is often
humorous to come up with a clever building... quip in people's profiles it is not always very clear as to who is building/has built what and may
have useful photos in their archive. Is there any way that we could have definitive list of who has what car wise? What do you all think?

no pics im affraid
tiger avon 2l zetec ordered on a whim six years ago my first build that took 8 months from delivery to passing s v a at the second attempt, kept this
for 3 years then got bored with it and sold it with plans to get something more useable in the winter.
A 600 mile round trip to the isle of wight from my house in leeds saw a nissan sunny gtir on my drive i hated it the next day felt right a right chav
had that for three weeks then sold it for a profit, worth more up north we can afford the insuarance.
Then the hunt was on for another kit, had to be built one as my little lad was due and a lack of garage time loomed.
After looking at well over 15 cars some rubbish and some far to much money for what they were, i discovered a indy blade not to far away that two
young lads had built to a good standard (but with room for improvement).
Picked it up a week later and having never driven a bec before stalled it at least 10 times on the way home but loved it. Fast forward two weeks and
there is flames and lots of horrid noise when i hit something on the road and it took the sump clean off the engine.
New engine installed. That winter saw new wilwood brakes and a new rear end with lsd and discs, along with some other little bits of tidying.
Then disaster at cadwell a bit of a coming together with the barrier under the trees saw a smashed front end, new nose cone steering rack hubs
radiator, and worse a whole new front end of the chassis. Lots of measuring and welding then some laser jigging and it was a straight as a dye. Back
together and then four more track days that year with no problems now drives better than before as well.
Then this winter i have installed the busa engine rewired the whole car, stripped the interior and made all new panels including dash. It also went
to mk to have a full cage fitted. NEarly finished this now then mot and back on the road.
So although it started out with me as a fully built i feel like i have rebuilt it by now.

I though the same, most of the post succeed each other so fast, it’s difficult to see who is building what. On the Usa locostbuilders forum
(http://www.locostusa.com/forums/), they have some nice “builders logs”. It’s better to follow and the treats are longer, instate of a lot of small
treats about someone’s build. And I like to see some pictures rather than reading long pieces of text
Think it would be nice to have some sort of builders logs here on the forum.
Happy new year!
