I finally gave in to the temptation to publish the build progress or (lack of it) on the web so here it is. Don't expect anything flash here just some notes and pictures that may be of interest to other builders. The car I'm building is the Tiger R6, it will run a 1.8 Zetec with Weber 40's, 13 inch wheels and very little else.  The car is being built for the Kit Car Championship, so no trim, windscreens or heaters etc on this one.  The regulations also insist on strict safety modifications and a few minor deviations from the standard car e.g.: No carbon fibre.  I wanted to build a 7 type and after much research the Tiger R6 was finally chosen. The decision was based on many reasons, I think its a great looking car, its good value, I read/heard  good reports and feedback about Tiger and they are very helpful.  

The R6 chassis is the lighter of the Tiger variants and should hopefully be able to keep it close to the regulation minimum weight. Not only were Tiger able to provide the chassis starter pack with a few extras but have been very helpful with sourcing materials and special roll cage components. The Tiger is being built in my limited spare time in a single garage, its my first kit car, but over the years I have spent a fair bit of time working on cars  - (mainly Minis which I did some sprints and hill climbs in a few years ago) so I'm pretty much used to the work needed. 

Diary - The intension is to post up new links for the progress here each month. Each page will contain a basic summary some details - maybe a picture or two.
