HI all
I just managed to put together a build diary that covers most of what I have done so far. I've got some more to add later but for now it's the weekend and the workshop calls!
I hope it's useful, even if it just makes you feel good about your own build :)

Cheers for that, bearing in mind that my mate and I are working together it took about 25 hrs to cut and tack each chassis, one on the band saw and one on the welder. The final welding took longer than I had planned due to giving the welder chance to cool. Over all the two chassis occupied about 11 weeks of our spare time.

Cheers Dave, I'll have your mushrooms sorted in a week or so. Thought I might drop them over and have a mooch at your build.

Cheers for that. I'm now working on modifying my tunnel to give me a little more room for future engine upgrades. This means making a new back plate for my pedal baox. Saw your mod on the master cylinder mount and thought it was spot on, so I'm incorporating it in the new one.
