My car's pretty much finished and sometimes I feel like taking the whole damn thing to the scrapyard!

Lock the garage up and leave it alone for a few days, come back to it with a fresh mind.

I once left a Capri i was restoring for 6 months beacause it annoyed me so much. Finished in the end though. Good luck.

As Paul & Sam have said, give yourself some timeout & you,ll go back to it with confidence & WILL sort it

If you need any replacement parts for your chassis steel, just shout & i,ll replace them FOC .

I,m sure we,ve all had bad days during the build, its a strange way of making us feel even more chuffed when you complete the task in hand

cheers
andy

Had many set backs..

Wishbone issue.
Peadle Box issue
Chassis Bracket Issue
Upright Issue
Engine Size issue.

And more..

It's part of building a custom car..























BUT IT F.........ING annoying at times.

im in the same boat as twin ! i got so frustrated earlier this month i stripped the whole thing down and piled it on one side of the garage havent touched it since

BUT .. ive got a week off and hopefully chassis will be completed and painted at minimum pedal box reworked and a fuel tank made.

stick at it and take andy up on his offer if you need to i keep thinking of calling him up and telling him i need the whole chassis replaced
