One day, just one day, I aimed to have a car just like this.

 

And that day has arrived!

Yep, I've built a kit car. A Pilgrim Sumo to be exact. Apart from being great fun for me, it's become the centre of conversation. Whenever I meet with friends, at some point the conversation gets round to "How's the car coming coming along, Tad?" At times it's quite difficult to explain what the latest developments / problems have been - thus this web site.

There are many other very good Sumo car build sites around so my aim was not to produce a step by step build manual. I have included a few hints and observations that I discovered or think that others, whom tread this bold path, may find useful.
