Picking up the kit from GBS

Early morning van pick up - Thanks Bidwells 02-12-2022

Kit at home later in the evening 02-12-2022

I went for the Mazda Single Donor 'Plus' kit, the ATR shock absorber upgrade, the fuel system kit & brake line kit. Given I am in a small single garage complete with family detritus, I also got the build trolley which I think will turn out to be a really good idea.

My donor car is still sat on the drive (1.8 VVT 2004 Euphonic). The wiring loom is out along with pretty much the entire interior. I have managed to sell quite a lot so far (will publish a list when its ready). Next step is to remove the body shell and get to the big bits I need to progress the build. But first, Christmas and New Year so I don't expect any progress until 2023.
