Managed to get the creature moving today. Not pretty at the moment, but functional and almost ready for you lot to give me some constructive feedback pre-IVA

Some minor-ish mechanical things to attend to, and then finish the paint prep before spraying (hope the weather is kind to me). And I've decided that afterr all the pros and cons on here, I'm going to take the less risky route of Cellulose and give 2-pack a miss (can't afford water-based).

Anyway, enjoy the video:

Sorry about the stupid grin

Oh, and BTW, the racket in the background at the beginning is our Psycho goose!

Nice one, Daddy - might not be too pretty, but it goes and it looks like you're 'getting there' - silly grin 'n all! How long's it taken so far?

Looked like a kid at christmas, how does it feel to have the hardest bits done?

Thanks guys.

Stevegough - it's been 5 years and 2 months since my first bit of chassis was welded to form the base, so not too long

samjc - it feels pretty damn good I can tell you! Still got a little way to go, but the end is in sight......then again, so is winter Hey ho

The silly grin comes with the car FOC. Now you know what all us other builders feel at that stage. Onward and upward and enjoy yourself.
