A quiet Sunday evening early April 2012 scanning ebay......
A mild intake of breath....really, a GKD Legend ST untouched kit, powder coated and ready to go.


6 month earlier, I am pondering a GBS Zero, a Dax Rush and the GKD. Newark and The Autosport show comes and goes. I am not sure I want to do a Sierra based kit so the Zero is at the bottom of the list. The Dax has been promised but seems an age away from being available that leaves the GKD as front runner.
My thoughts are order a kit for delivery in say October, winter to build it and all being well have the car ready to go early summer 2013. That was until the fateful night on ebay.


What do you do, wait and stick with the plan or just go for it and snap up a bargain? Not a hard decision except I had moved house 3 weeks earlier and the garage is packed with "stuff".


A couple of frantic days and the garage is almost ready to accept delivery. Its going to be tight but at least I will have a home for everything.


By now my brain is mush, a new house, lots of work to do on it, conflicting thoughts about what donor car to use, when am I going to find time?
