Well this build sure has had some crazy twists and turns and now I’m pretty thrilled to say a very big up.
In a strange turn of events, and just over two years since my workshop was robbed, I now find myself owning 1/3 of a metal fabrication company, and it’s completely as a result of this project.
Long story short, the friend of mine (that I met through this build) helping me on this build had an opportunity to take over the company he worked for. Myself and another good friend, also on this forum, pooled resources and bought the Co with my other mate which came with an established client base and more tools than I know what to do with. Including the likes of a CNC plasma cutter, 10t press brake, mill, lathe and more welders than I can shake a stick at!
So the plan of getting someone else to finish the build for me is scrapped and my car is now in her new home, and the new company workshop in Welwyn Garden City.
I’ve also been accumulating the parts needed to finish this over the last 6 months so there really is no reason I can’t get this finished.
On top of all of this my partners are both 4x4 nuts and we are really keen to break into the making aftermarket accessories so if anyone has anything they want made don’t hesitate to reach out. I have a load of ideas for my 80 and am starting to look at jeep products too for a other good friend.
I’m super pumped to finally be able to get back on this. Off to the Ultra4 Europe King of Britain Race today to co drive and then back on the build.
Updates are coming!
