..from South Manchester. Not exactly new to the message board....I've been viewing for several months now! Have a Sonic7 chassis in the garage (since October last year), and picked up the rest of the kit last Friday. Looking forward to some better weather now to make some real progress. Lots of thinking and not much action as yet.....! Martin

Hi Martin, Really great to have you on board, I was beginning to think that the Rocket boys had the Forum all to themselves ;D Anyway the good weather, will be with us soon so its time to get cracking on with the build If you have any problems or question, then get posting and we'll all see if we can help. O and by the way whats the planned spec ? You know colour, engine, wheels etc nigel

Hi Nigel - thanks for the welcome. Donor is a cat D 1.8 Ghia estate - so I've got the rear discs / calipers along with most of the other vital bits and pieces. Colour is red sides with black inserts, with remaining panels black. Have just overcome the first hurdle of getting the various panels "accepted" into the house..... far to easy to damage them in the garage! Martin

Yep no worries! sounds like a plan! although progress on the old Rocket isnt exactly fast! apart from having the suspension put together and front panels made thats about as far as I've got (poor i know considering i have had the kit since last September!!! ) I really need to stop crapping and get cracking!! AMM July deadline is approaching fast! Drop me a line! Ol
