Picking up the Kit


 

July 30 2007 - Picking up the Kit
We hit the road at 6am, aiming to be at the factory by 9am. We arrived at 9:15 having suffered very few traffic problems. As you can see by the photos, we had a good look around the factory, including having a good nosey inside a Megabusa!

Our car was waiting on a stand to be loaded into the van. The guys were great, they went through everything in detail and loaded the van up for us. Unfortunately a few items were missing from the kit, and they'll be forwarded on in due course - nothing that will hold us up in the early stages.

Initially we're really impressed with the quality of the kit, far better than all the other kits we'd seen during the research. The powder-coated chasssis is immaculate with really nice welding, and the piano-black body looks fantastic.

We set off back, and got to work unpacking...
