After being a pile of bits for the previous 17 years, stored at my parents house, the time had come for the resurrection in a brand new, put up for the purpose four car garage. According to a dairy I kept a start was made on 18th January 1981. By the Autumn of that year FUA was being used for my daily commute to work.
The chassis parts were supplied from the sheet metal working factory where Dad used to be the manager. Not being confident about my welding skill, I opted to bolt the components together. Assembling the mechanical parts on to the assembled chassis took no time at all, since most parts had been refurbished as the car was dismantled in 1963/64.
