Would like it to be more but work and everyday life keeps getting in the way :D

You'll be on the road for your Birthday Mark, that's the important thing.

Time to start thinking about chassis no's, DVLA and VOSA. Stockton are good to deal with just watch where you park, i got clamped on one visit and had to cut the chain off on the clamp to get home......;)

During the week before Chrimbo and Chrimbo week itself I managed about 35 hours a week on it but since then its been shoved back into the corner of the workshop. Done about an hour on it since Saturday, cut the rear hub mounting flanges off the Granada lower wishbones this morning just to try out my new gas axe:D . Got to spend some money on bits and pieces soon like tube to fab the wishbones etc.

Write to them Mark,you will get put through to Swansea if you ring the local number and they do not have a clue. I tried a few months ago and thats what happened to me.

I did the same Mark, if you make up a relevant chassis number and write to Stockton asking them if its okay to use it they will reply within a week to tell you if its taken or not. I found the whole process to be pretty smooth.

If you include research, planning and reading...

probably an hour a day at present. And I am about 6 months of starting the build. :D

Once I am in the build cycle I envisage 1-2hrs avrage on week nights and a few more on weekends. Incresasing once the chassis is welded and I can get my ( by the time it's ready ) 6yr old out to help with the fitting up.

Big problem is that I will be heavily into the planning and delivery of the I.T. systems for our new Building that opens in Jan 2011. Which will leach all my spare time and energy.

I'm up in the 4-5 hours a day region. what's more worrying is if I'm not building I'm on the forum. If I spent as much time building as i do on the forum then the car would have been finished a long long time ago lol

well, I'm going to be spending a good few hours on it today - we're snowed in!
