Savings & Help

 

 During the waiting time it is a good idea to plan your project and how to save money into the bargain.
You will want to plan your work area, where can you get help and what about the Donor car. 
Paint Jobs You will find a few examples of Falcons Here.



My Top Tip for saving money is to join the JBA Owners Club, even although you may live far away from any representatives. The membership fee is only £16.00p per annum. Renewable every April.
The JBA Owners Club have secured a number of Discount deals with various suppliers of components, including a 5% and/or 10% Discount from JBA Cars on their accessories list, for newly purchased kits.
This is a great saving on parts for your kit, although you can source some of the JBA accessories listed from other suppliers, you will use JBA for quite a few of the parts. 
An example of the savings on the Sports hood and hood frame from JBA. 
Price at 22-02-2003 £352.75p. Less Owners Club discount 5% Price is £335.12p. A saving of £17.63p
More than the cost of your membership and this is just for starters. 
You must ask JBA for your Owner Club discount at the time of purchase and produce your current membership card. If ordering by post, phone or email ask for your discount and state your membership number.

Australia has their own JBA Owners Club situated in Perth, WA. With members in various parts of OZ. You will have to check with them for any discount deals, as they are different from here in the UK.
The membership fee is $25 More Info.

Plan Your Work Area
If you have a garage, now is the time to give it a good clear out. Ensure that the electrical wiring is up to standard
Make sure it is safe for toddlers and children, Do not leave chemicals lying around where they can reach them, you know how they get into everything and they like to see what you are doing.
You will need as much room as you can get. 
A good deal of space is taken up by the Central Body Unit (CBU) until it is fitted to the chassis. I stored mine in the back garden on a pallet for air circulation and covered with polythene.
The front wings too, I hung them from the garage roof. The boot is another space eater, but again can be stored in a shed.
If you don't have a garage. 
Many builders have faced these problems, and overcome them by erecting a polythene structure, whilst working on their kit and covering the kit with a car cover at night. However think about the security issue.
If you have no space for this, then seek out a relative or friend, who may be able to offer you space. Just remember the time span needed to complete your project, which can vary from one to two years, or even longer depending on your circumstances.
Other options that are available are to enlist the help of a kit car building  firm, in or near your area. They will be able to undertake part or full builds, to any stage you require.
JBA Cars also have this facility. Email them for a quote.
One really good option is to attend a meeting of a local kit car club in your area, you will find their address from your local library.
It is amazing the amount of help and information you can obtain from them. 
In Scotland a good club is the Scottish Kit Car Club. 
With monthly meetings in Grangemouth and Kilmarnock. Link below.
