Just a couple of pics to help keep the faith 
I started the build 11th Feb and have totalled 8 days on the car since then. I think being realistic, if you had a week off work and put in full
days, you could get to this stage within the week; hold ups waiting for bits asside.
Still to do:
Engine/Electrics
Connect electrics
Fit rad and pipes
Tunnel/Boot cover
Lighting/Dash
Wings
Seats/Belts
Then odds and sods for SVA

Looking good!!
The Yamaha logo wheel centres are cool 
Blimey you don't hang arround do you 
Looks great in black!
I thought the Yamaha wheel centres were a neat trick too.
Looks fantastic Richie! Again, Where did you get the wheel centres from?
Also there seems to be a lot of water in the bottom of the car! You leave it in the rain?
Are you going to drill any drain holes for very wet weather?

That's sweat, he's been working really hard on it .
Looking really good.
i'm really enjoying your build log on your website.
very encouraging for prospective builders 
Thanks for all the comments guys.
Yam wheel centres: Actually just the domed rubbery type decals fitted to my TSW centres. Theyre availble from
this guy on
eBay in either gold or silver and in 35 and 58mm. The 58mm ones were exactly the right size for the centres.
The water was just from a quick wash down, now dried out. I wasnt going to let you see it all dusty now was I
I wouldnt drill any holes in the pan unless you have a grommet which blanks it off when not needed. Road spray will get in just as easily as water
gets out.
Thanks again guys, I hope its encouraging to see what can be achieved with some fore thought. Like GMan, I had just about everything I needed ready
in boxes, all donor parts reconditioned and waiting.
Marc was kind enough to fit the 2 inner tunnel panels and most of the suspension was supplied ready assembled (rose joints on, balljoints fitted)
which was a pleasant suprise and saved some more time.
Ive had a few headscratchers with suspension and stuff but Ive not lost too many days.
I best get some updates on the build website from todays tinkerings.

bloody hell 8 days did you get any sleep or did you just lock the garage and power nap inbetween jobs
looks great nice one
The 8 days was a guess really. I worked half days here and there which would come to about 8 days in total. The full days I did get on the car were
no longer than about 11 am - 6pm with frequent brews and sarnies
Rich
nice one mate and that body certainly seems a good fit
take care leaning over the car all the time with the black bodywork
