You should make a list of "things to do" i know yours will be quite large but it definately helps

I have done it and it motivates me as you tick things off, you do things in a more methodical order aswell

My car is not a million miles off being finished but once you make a list you realise just how many little things there are to do

It helps me get more done too as you dont have those moments where you are stood doing sod all for half an hour to deciding what to do next!

cheers Mark, thats a good idea.....we,ve got long wall space to put the list on ....hey...the walls at Saturn unit are white so i,ll just write the list on the wall me thinks Spud would have something to say about that tho, lol

i,ll be honest & say that sometimes its not having the correct/parts needed at the right time that has slowed me down at times.....

the gaskets are all in place now by the way, sump painted & engine ready for fitting

cheers
andy

I have a list as long as my arm for things to do on my main project...

but I have been plugging away at little bits on each of my cars over the last week or so...

I was finalising a seatbelt repair for our mk1 golf earlier, and getting very annoyed with my welder that can work perfectly or have an erratic feed. tonight it was in erratic mode ....


Lists are good though as they help remind you of the bits you always forget about

hey andy, looks great, lots still to do but i nitice in your other post you have most of the big bits ready to go on/in engine body etc, should have it done in no time but dont under estimate all the little jobs at the end iv got to that stage and they are taking ages to get finished but i recon with a consurted effort you can get it done for the track day and the show

good luck
Tilly hope to see it at the show

cheers Tilly,

yes i have alot of the "big parts" ready to fit, the main things i need to buy yet are the prop/seats/ali for the cockpit/poly bushes & tyres & i,m sure a 1001 other bits but the list is getting shorter

the priority at the mo is to fit the loom , & engine & get it running, hopefully i,ll be able to post the video of first engine start soon.

cheers
andy

YEEEEHHHAAAA



my Roadster has had its first engine start today, first turn of the key & she fired up, a sense of mixed excitement V worry in case i,d messed up the engine electrics when the car was stripped.

But she,s running & sounds great.

Big push now to get it finished.

I,m chuffed to bits

cheers
andy
