your wasting your time gts can do it in 2 days they did it at detling our best is six days for a demo car ran all day at donnington show on the
seventh
yes but did you see the amount of stuff pre assembled and preped before they even started
all the bits on the car are as they are supplied to customers ( so it is representative of a true build )
plus there is only me building it ( road legal racecar with dry sumped zx12 r ) cool:
and still awaiting the alloy billet rockers for the inboard suspension to arrive from the anodisers

I WANT THAT YELLOW ONE !!!!!!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

damn wish i was that quick
it'd be massively handy if you could take random closeups at obscure angles at varying points in the build
the more the merrier. doesnt matter about them being online, i can grab them off your pc next time im up

I would send you an invite to GMail, but I dont have any at the moment. You can send 10Mb attachments with that, thats quite a few pics. Also added
benefits of no spam...
Car looks good, and sounds like you got a suprisingly long way in the first day!

Fantastic idea Marc! This should really help in the best order to complete the build.
Keep up the good work!
P.S. All my donor parts are painted up and reconditioned now... Just gotta wait for the date to arrive that the better half has set to start
building!

P.S. I've got access to unlimited web space so if you want me to host any amount of piccies on the web for people to view, just give us a shout
and I'll drop you a line with the relevant details to connect to my server and upload.
Chris.
P.P.S. Looks like the workshop's going through a few changes! What's the wooden panelling behind your Dad concealing?
