Parts of the kit left to do!!

the writing on those tubes looks familiar :D

doing well there Correl, it,ll really "come to life" when you start adding the tubes that give the chassis some "height".

nice work :cool:

If i remember correctly there was 104 tubes in your kit :eek: :D

cheers

That's looking good Correl, don't think you'll have much time to watch that tv though - there's going to be a lot of head scratching as the build goes on but it will certainly be worth seeing it as it progresses.

Just re-read that "Big Day" post TT that was a good day and seems ages ago - just look how much things have moved on now. And how much the haynes and number in build has expanded.

Enjoy....AndyH

no gas for my welder at mo tacked the FF together with out gas just o get an idea of height, be gas needed to continue with height.

Things slowing me down lol

Only waiting to hear from BOC for my account to be set up and then i am good to go. Everything takes time!!! lol

BOC - Don't do it...:o

Do what you can to avoid a BOC contract Corell - it'll cost you a fortune. Ask about and see if you can get it cheap without rental. If you where close to Hartlepool i could get you a full size bottle of 80 / 20 mig gas for £30, tis fiddly but well worth it.

I am in cornwall a far way from you lol, I have asked around and it works out £75 a year for the rental and £36 for the gas and if i dont need the Welder any more then i can get a refund of the remaining years rental. I dont wanna use them stupid small bottles out in 20mins and cost £15 a bottle here and thats with discount!!
