There are a lot of great builders and bloggers that have gone before me:

Caterham 420 Detailed Build Blog: Chris Collins started building a 420R in September 2019 and has put together an excellent reference site to augment the Caterham build manuals. He should be finishing his project just as I will be starting mine:

2019 Caterham 270R Racing Blog: Daniel French built an R500 in 2014 and his blog documents the build, upgrades and latterly his Caterham Academy racing career. There are a lot of great ‘how to’ articles in here and I particularly like the January 2016 blogs on installing the carbon interior panels:

Purplemeanie: A family build blog covering the assembly of an SV chassis 420R in 2017. A lot of really great detail in here explaining all elements of the build and most recently a section on ECU diagnostics:
