First Drive
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!

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.
