Hi from a newbie!

Hi everyone.
I've just retired from the army, after 12 years as cartographic surveyor.
I've wanted a project for years and years but never had the permanency, space, money or time.
That doesn't mean I've not tried, and have a failed Capri and interceptor rebuild on my list of sold, not started, upset wife, lost money, still born projects to my name.
I've always wanted a +2.
A bloke in my village had one when I was a kid and I saw it a few years ago in a local garage when visiting relatives. After his death I enquired about it but it had been sold years ago.
Finding an article about spyder engineering's zetec conversions re awoke my interest in them.
So here I am
Looking for knowledge an wisdom on the car to get a reasonable idea of what's involved before diving in and buying the first car I see!
Which if my memory's correct is exactly what you should do!
Looking forward to chatting and hopefully meeting up
John
