Loan is signed, funds in my account Tuesday!
Spending more than I should for the new shop build, but rent has been taking too much of my funding and the loan payments will be less.
With the new shop up I get to be genuinely "Retired" at last.
Hoping for about fifty - sixty hours a week building cars.
First priority has to be building a Kit Car I will sell, need to produce more income than SS provides.
Second is to put something together as a daily driver. Alfa Spider or Spitfire, hard to decide which should go first.
Lotus has to be a third part-time project as it is never to be sold.
Been looking at at it, from a mechanical view it is hardly more complex than the Spitfire.
But the body, oh boy, the body! Despite no apparent significant past damage the body looks to be more than 50% of the work.
All emblems and lettering have been removed, I feel no compulsion to replace them.
Light blue is one of the easier colors to make look good and I like it so that is what it will be.
The blue also retains the look it had during its minor competition history.
Engine does not scare me. I will be buying the alignment dowels this week.
Do need to fabricate a coupling for the axles so that it remains a roller, if there is demand I may make more than one.
What I probably need to learn most at this point is how to set-up the axle/diff play correctly.
