Two Go Mad In The Garage

How two numpties try to build a Westfield kit car.

It looks like a car!

In the hot weather we got our masks goggles and gloves on and drilled the body and wheel arches. We then bolted them together.

As some holes required being done in two parts we had to bolt and unbolt each side several times.

Combined with the very hot weather this meant the whole job took several hours.


Once we had the wheel arches on, we lifted the body into position, this was all ok, except the bits of the body that need to go over the rails at the back of the cockpit wouldn't go. Chrissy eventually worked out how to apply some force to make this happen.




And once the body was on the car, we put the rear wheels on, obviously this was only because it is recommended to measure up the spacing of the body on the chassis, and nothing to do with the fact that we wanted to see what it looks like.


We were exhausted after that and so went in to watch the football and have a beer.

Thanks to Anna for taking the photos.
