After many delays, seems like my kit will finally reach me in about 2 months’ time. Reserving the spot for my build diary.

I have previously built 2 Lotus7 based kit cars but got rid of them after driving them both for less than 1,500 miles, very fast and fun cars, but something just did not sit right with me. Hopefully, this will not be the case with this kit ��
I do not intend to properly track the car (maybe an occasional track day or 2), nor do I want the car to be very civilized - this is just an obnoxious summer weekend car.

My expectations for this build is to have everything I need to complete the car and I intend to have it completed for the summer. If anyone notices something which is not in the list below, but is needed to complete the build - please let me know (getting parts to this part of the world is not easy and I don't have patience)!
