........and then realising that the wishbones have to come off again, because you have to fit the side panels, right?
Well, I'm jealous anyway. Make sure to keep us informed with some pictures too!

Glad you're having fun, keep at it with that sort of enthusiasm and it will be finished by the end of the week!!!!

Ben, your welcome over my place on Sunday if you wanna come, I'm just north of Brighton. We'll hopefully be firing her up for the first
time.
Don't talk to me about barely clothed ladies, I've got a shop in The Lanes and it's all over the place this week.

Ben,
Word of advice.
Be careful not to use up all your smileys too early in the build....
You will need plenty when it hits the road.
