Some progress at last

Hi Arfon,
good to see a fellow Welshman hard at work building his car
Great looking build.
May I ask what saw you used to cut the metal and if possible how much and where you got it from.

Cheers
Dean

Hi Dean, I'm using the rage3 chopsaw with the general purpose blade. I didn't buy it for this job so I didn't have to explain where it came from to swmbo. It cost £120 in the sale at B&Q two and a half years ago, to build a decking in the garden. It is very accurate provided you take the time to setup the vertical plane with a square and not relay on the scale on the machine. It is a lot easier than a hacksaw.

How far are you into your build, I've not done anything today as swmbo wants to change her car so we have been out to have a look. One good thing is I have booked tomorrow off so hope to make some progress again.

should have started by now, but as we are moving out of our rented house (Long Story) we are moving into our new house on the 1st Nov if not sooner so I ended up spending the money i had for the steel buying the nosecone and scuttle from saturn.

Cheers for the info about the saw.

Not a problem mate, November will soon be here then get swmbo to exile you to the garage and you will soon be getting into the build. Don't forgat they like photos on here

Well had a good and bad day today. I started to put into place all the uprights in place and tacked them in place. I then started to put in the top frame and also tacked them into place. Just looking around at the build when I stoped for a drink and i noticed that the drivers side of front frame had lifted by 1mm. Lots of head scratching followed before I realised that U2 was slightly in the wrong place causing it to twist. Sorted it out took a few photos to add, and came home with a look of satisfaction on my face
