My moment of realisation
I was sitting in my electronics lesson very nearly asleep when i realised just how much work i have left to do on the locost.
I was planning to hopefully pass IVA by the end of April so i could take her on the London to Brighton Jag run but i dont think (going by the mental
list i was making) it'll get done by then 
Oh well, should be done by the summer.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

yeah, i keep doing that too
i don't think there's a HUGE amount left on mine, but too much to get my head round. and too much money involved too..
maybe april 2011...

Yep pull finger out (but then it's meant to be fun so don't over do it).. Thing that got ours finished was the SVA/IVA change over
"deadline" (still took 4 years!!, was meant to take 6months????!!!)..

Pin the list tp the wall in the garage (build area) and score off every time you do a job. It will come down quite quickly you will be suprised.
Keep the Chin up - THere is light at the end of the tunnel. and a big cheesy GRIN
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

Regards the list on the garage wall its a great idea. My only problem was the missus kept adding jobs to it faster than I was taking them off

I just had my DVLA inspection this morning.
8 years after starting!
I seem to remember that I read somewhere that the building of the chassis was 50% of the work.!
Dream on.

One job at a time and it gets finished faster than your bank account drains. Yes, it can be that quick.

You're obviously going to too many lectures. In my final year I went to 5 out of significantly more than that, and I still got a degree!

I think I should have tried to go to university in your country. Here we have to actually attend and study.

Just waiting for the charity things to come round with their donation bags so we can clear the garage full of clothes, then clear the rest of the
stuff that's collected. Then maybe I can start getting the equipment needed to make it, then the kit. Don't worry about taking 6 months to
finish it I've taken 2 years to get the space to start it!
