Doug
Philp's JBA Falcon Sports SRi Build
Doug
comes from Broughty Ferry near Dundee and became
interested in building a kit car a few years back and
liked the JBA Falcon from magazine pictures and
articles.
He
first saw the Falcon in the flesh at the Scottish Kit
Car Show in Edinburgh in 1997. However he had other boat
building projects on the go and a kit car had to wait.
I
first met Doug at the last JBA Open Day on October 3rd
1999. It was his first visit to a Factory open
day. Doug was so impressed with the quality of the
build that could be achieved by the owners and
of the help and information they passed onto him. Two
new Sports were on show that day, belonging to Bernard
Telford and Burman Parker.
Doug
has special thanks to them both, for their help and
encouragement, so much so, that he decided there and
then to place an order for a JBA Falcon Sports. The full
Kit plus various accessories.
His
kit arrived on 11th December 1999. Delivery was arranged
by JBA and was delivered by Bernard
Williamson, 151 Southport New Road, Tarleton, Near
Preston, Lancashire, PR4 6HX. An
enthusiastic Veteran owner and refurbisher, so he knows
how to handle the kit.
Doug's
time was taken up in the intervening period by obtaining
a Sierra donor car stripping it down and refurbishing
the parts.
He has set a target of 18 months to complete his build
and Spring 2001 should see him enjoying his Sports.
Doug
has kindly agreed to allow me to document his build on
these pages as his work progresses. Supplemented
by photos taken by himself.
The
first part deals with stripping the Sierra Donor.
