yep, its quick, it inspired me to work until 9:30 tonight and get all the wishbone brackets welded on, all wishbones and rear uprights bolted on too. Its starting to look less like a climbing frame and more like a roadster
Big thanks to andy for lending me the jigs to do the brackets

i havent even found a doner! I dont have the space and my neighbours are tits so having a scrap car on the drive is a no no. Im having to scour ebay for bits, but im going down the route of trying to get as many brand new bits as possible to try and fool mr IVA into giving me a new registration....

Chassis looking great Nathan, you certainly have been busy
Tho, hope you don,t mind me saying............. your headlight brackets look a little too long (tho it might be the photo angle), most folk use 12cm from the hole center to edge of the chassis , ahh, I know those jigs well I made em  well done on your build, won,t be long before its rolling cheers andy

Glad you enjoyed it Nathan, been driving it for nearly 2 years and 10k miles and it still puts a smile to my face every time.
Chassis is looking good, headlight brackets are made overly long so they can be cut to suit and welded on the top of the top rail so the cable can be hidden through the tube. Keep it Up.....AndyH
