Preparation and painting

Building a Pilgrim Sumo

After a trip to the Newark kit car show (17th June 2000) and having taken my cheque book (I never learn!) I came away with a Pilgrim Sumo kit car on order complete with donor Ford Sierra car! I will be using the engine from the donor vehicle, a Ford 2.9 fuel injection V6 and all the running gear. Early days yet and lots to learn!
