Thought you would have put a few hours in tonight and got it started Lightweight Only Joking!!
Fantastic progress though.
Puts my 3 year build to shame !
Cheers

P.S and your garage is far too tidy!!! You're making us all look really bad!!!

yup great for storage
would be more impressed if you were doing the build in your kitchen
Great progress can't wait to get started on mine, will this be a ongoing build thread?
Bet it falls off those wobbly trestles and you have to start all over again
^^^Those were my thought too. great progress - hope it doesn't end up on the floor accidentally.
very keen arn't you! good bloke!
i would leave the wheels off until right at the last moment before lowering onto the floor. they weigh quite a bit

Cor blimey. Took me months to get that far!!! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, do a cleanup before you take those pictures would you? It will also enable you to find all those parts you just bought, instead of having to go
buy new things that you already have, but forgot about, 2 years later. Of course you'll be done next Saturday...
Nice work! Keep it up!!!
thats cracking work well done

Location MK Indy R - R1

Good progress but don't get too carried away, the bits you've fitted are large and quite straightforward. There'll be times when you
work on it for weeks but it's appearance doesn't seem to change at all and you can easily lose enthusiasm. Take it steady and methodically
(unless you're racing against time for whatever reason)

Just wait till you get to the fiddly bits. what I thought to be hour long jobs have dragged out to a full day!
To be fair i've never really done much car building wise, and it's been a good learning experiance
"Good learning experience". That's SWMBO talking: "Yes, I know you've spent tens of thousands, but look what you've learned!"
