Sumarise Where Your at...

Q1) I think about halfway. I've broken the back of the major components though and now its bodywork, electrical and mechanical refinements.

Q2) Yesterday, sanding down some rear arches prior to polishing or more likely painting/wrapping.

Q3) The nose, bonnet and scuttle/dash, electrics and getting it running with a Megasquirt ECU.

Q4) A lack of money and time however I'm due to make my own scuttle and bonnet which will take some time to get perfect so will bridge the gap before more purchases can be made. I've never liked the idea of a fibreglass bonnet, I'd want to see metal when lifting the bonnet plus I want Caterham style louvres!

Q1 - Nearing the end of the build.

Q2 - It's about 2 months since I worked on the roadster.

Q3 - I have to wire up all my gauges and sort a headlamp issue and get my wheel alignment set up done and final engine tune up and brake balance tested.

Q4 - Hopefully nothing now, as I've taken a weeks holiday to get everything done except the engine tune up.

A very motivating photo for me - I am also going full white bodywork (even front guards!) so this is a like a 'what to aim for' pic for me!


Q1) How far along are you
Bare painted chassis completed - think all the welding on that is done - 'simply' need to start panelling and fitting all the actual 'parts' onto it now..!

Q2) How long since you last worked on the car
Consistently - not since 2013, just after my son was born. Since then i've managed bursts of effort here and there but never got into the routine of weekly work on it - which is what I want to do.

Q3) What are the major items to do
The things I think are 'major' are fitting the bodywork well, fabricating the exhaust, all the wiring, and the final IVA 'prep'. I think the rest of the jobs are basically just bolting things in place and setting them up - and there is lots of advice on here and LCB about what to do - so I think of them as 'easy' jobs that I just need time for.

Q4) Whats holding you up
Time - Since 2013 we moved and then rebuilt our new house - I did a lot of labouring. And I had a son in 2013, and one in 2017. And i'm trying to get fit again. The hours run out.
Confidence - I over think every part of the build and really need to just commit to some decisions (like cutting the bottom lip off my GRP sides) and crack on.
