David Crabb's Build Page The story of WR088
...or it WAS my car until I sold it during 2002!
Chassis and GRP Body, ready to start working
The car was collected from JPR during October 1990.
Still a Long Slog Ahead
The first job was to get the car in the garage and start cutting out the light apertures and other miscellaneous bits and pieces. Then the suspension components and steering column were fitted.
Pinto Engine In Place
Next the running gear, engine, gearbox and other assorted mechanical bits were bolted on.
Following this the car was MOT'd during June 1991. New wheels and tyres were fitted as well as sound deadening felt etc.
It's all about the Prep Work
Then the car was masked up, primed and a bit of paint splashed on it. By now it was September 1991.
More Masking and Spraying
Then the car was masked up, primed and a bit of paint splashed on it. By now it was September 1991.
Get to work Lad
Next a handy young lad (my son) polished it up a bit.
Six Months Later....
A piece of cake really (really?). The total build time was approx 200 hours spread over about six months.
Since then, of course, much more work has been carried out. A kit car seems to be never ending improvements and modifications. The recent addition of a hard top makes it a good all year round car..
