Having a custom car being built 9,000km’s away is all about communication. Weekly if not daily contact bridges the distance and enables almost a long hand on approach. Being my second build from a distance I learnt so much from the first which can only make the second not just as good but simply better.
Scott having just purchased the company has picked up the ball and made the right progress. The transition has of course been a road full of bumps, surprises, disappointments, but these are simply expected and one can only have a positive attitude to never lower standards or expectations. Scott has been remarkable in this respect; each hurdle has just been another challenge. Time delays, promised actions, challenging financials, come with becoming an owner of a business.
May has been a month of re-grouping and focusing on what we as a team can achieve; I have made a few very simple requests and the aim is to check them off step by step. The Engine is our primary focus, with so many parts missing or simply not up to standard we have gone to high quality bolt on parts with a proven history…this avoids the frustrations of building custom one off parts that may or may not work. We are back on track….no more used bolts and nuts of assorted sizes but a standardization through-out the build.
Bolt on…
Do it right…
Fabrication…
