Goal

Section titled “Goal”

The stated goal of the arc is to get the car to first drive on the road — MOT’d, road legal, engine running and gearbox working, brakes safe. The target is spring 2027.

Constraints

Section titled “Constraints”
  • Limited weekly hours at the unit (~4–6 hours typical)
  • Done as a one-person job for the most part
  • On a budget — hence “cheapest”
