Default New 403 owner

Hello All,

I thought i would introduce myself, as a new Bristol owner.

I very recently bought a Bristol 403 (without engine and gearbox).

I have to be honest and admit that i bought the car on a whim, knowing nothing about the model, and very little about Bristol cars.

Now that i've done the deed, i find myself out of my depth and experience.

I'm hoping to restore the car myself, with some help from a mechanic who has restored VW bugs. However, i have zero technical skills, but hope to learn as i go along the required skills.

Everyone tells me that i'm mad to even consider this, as early Bristol's require major skills, the aluminium bodywork is difficult to work with and weld and would be too difficult a project in general for a complete novice.

Do the board members think that i'm being not very realistic considering the amount of work the car needs ?
