half my life over!
Well its official, i'm half dead!
35 today and sat in the office eating toast thinking "should have taken the day off instead of just the afternoon".
Just worked out i've been building "the car" for almost a 1/4 of my life. So you're all welcome to kick me up the ass over the
coming year to get a move on.
List of jobs is to -
weld up my de-dion beam,
measure and buy drive shafts
weld on roll bar
paint chassis - after that its just electrics and paneling, not that much left, surely!

Why, are you only planning to live to 70 then commiting hara-kiri?
With modern medicine, aim to live to at least 100, then you'll have more time to finnish the car

Life expectancy is much more than 70 at the moment. You must lead an unhealthy lifestyle!!!

Firstly, happy birthday, mine is next Tuesday and will be 54 (I think, ahhh memory loss)....
Secondly, you young ones get back to work and earn some more money so that you can pay me my pension and I can retire in 6 years and have enough money
to build a few more interesting kits.....before I peg it!!!!
