Default Build progress

How far can I progress my build before I need to fit engine and gear box?

Up to the point you want to paint the chassis as u will need to put the engine and gearbox mounts in. You could grind some off to weld the mounts on after if you wanted to though. My intent is to build it then strip and powdercoat then final build up.

Put it in to get it sorted, then pull it out till the point when your finalising things like water systems, engine electrics and fueling.

Mine so far has not come back out as I suffered a hernia precluding me from heavy work. Then the garage got too untidy to move

Back to doing stuff very sooon.
