I may take you up on that, Andy - I’m in Fremont. Great to learn there are others nearby - I’ve never seen a Seven on the roads here. Adam

Thanks! Just caught up on your build - looks fantastic. You can't really install the rear suspension before the roll bar (it bolts in where the rear springs go), but you can install the differential (which is quite a bit of work). And you can definitely install the motor/transmission - that's a bit of work and will keep you busy while you wait for the roll bar.

Hey all, In the process of building my 360R SV. It's been something I'd been thinking about doing for ages, and with my oldest kid entering his senior year in high school, it was now or never! I bought the kit from Rich at Kampena Motors in Sonoma CA (Rich is fantastic, by the way) and started the build this fall. We're about 50% done by my guess (engine in, front and rear suspension done, but lots to do on the exhaust, interior, etc.). I've got the full family involved (3 teenage kids and my wife) to assist with labor. I've learned that the build manual is a decent foundation, but online build blogs have been invaluable (as have frequent texts to Rich). Specifically, I've leaned on these blogs: https://caterham420detailedbuildblog.co.uk (great for pretty much everything) https://www.caterham7diaries.com https://purplemeanie.co.uk Below are some photos from the build. I'm late to joining this community, but looking forward to leveraging it!
