Background


Of the many options and kits available we have chosen the South African Birkin - a kit which faithfully reproduces the beauty of Colin Chapman's original car and which you build up with component parts from the factory, adding in your choice of engine and transmission.



This holds true to the tradition of garden shed mechanics without requiring quite the level of welding skill, or CAD programming, that some of the amazing, home built clubman cars require. Or at least we hope not, as neither of us have done anything like this before.....

Exhaust headers

Remember the hole we cut in the body work? Well, today we fitted the exhaust headers and we've been relieved to find that it is indeed in the right place to allow them to exit.

The cardboard template was spot on and we are very pleased with the result.

We also fitted the drive shaft which was a simple process and at last the sum of scattered parts is starting to resemble a real car.
