Almost 3 years after turning on the first GoPro to film our Caterham 420R Kit Car build, I finally got around to creating this video...

This video is a recap of the major points of our build and is in no way representative of everyone's experience - every Caterham and every build is different!

It has taken many many hours of editing to get this video into the shape you see here. The audio is a bit janky in places and there are too many jump cuts in the pieces of me to camera... but after 3 years I decided I just had to get something published.

Hopefully it's of some use to anyone building, or looking to build, a Caterham.

[ Bonus points for anyone who can count the number of "in the ends", "at the end of the days" and "measure twice, cut onces" :-) ]

Finally, yes.. I know sessions 24 and 32 a missing - I forgot to roll the cameras for some reason.
