Anybody on here built/building a Phantom Vortex ?

[JDH]

I'm about to start building a Phantom. Does anyone know of any build diaries on the web? Anyone got any tips ?
Thanks

Yes, I'm building one at the moment!
In fact I have just got back in the office from SVC where I picked up some headlamps and a starter button.
How far have you got?
Please feel free to mail me offline to discuss anything as I have actively tried to contact all thos building without much success.

APRISA and JDH, how die the build go?

Can you show any piccies for those that are not very familiar with the Phantom?

Unfortunately JDH was a figment of his own imagination (don't ask but true)

My car can be seen on the "Finally got the car picture on my profile thread"

So, how long did it take to build? Any pictures of the interior? Was it difficult to build? Have you built other cars?

took me two years, but could have been six months (so many changes to the car meant waiting for upgrades and major hassles in getting a good electrician to make looms that would be reliable and have all the add on bits to make the car "desirable")

I will have pics of the interior next week maybe as I only fitted the seats yesterday, SVA is now April 10th "ish" and so I have decided to go ahead with sorting out the new centre console design prior to SVA instead of after.

I have built three other cars but none so "challenging!", the build was straightforward but it is not the kind of car you would want to trim and maybe paint yourself as a shabby looking finish would spoil what should look like a car worth £30K plus.

Hey, where are your pictures--would love to compare yours to the pictures at the Phantom website!

Good luck with the SVA--I'm in the USA, but think the Phantom has lots of potential...

one on the profile and a lot more to come when I have sorted the way the FTP program works on this PC, having upload hassles at present.
