Default Hello, another Starter

Hi to you all, another one attempting the build. I have been browsing the forum for quite a while and purchased the book at the beginning of the year, and have taken the plunge.
Managed to buy the chassis kit from John Marchant who has abandonned his project and as a bonus got his build table, so a super start. Down side at the moment is the need to learn to weld, but have been on the mig welding forum for tips and bought a DVD, what more could I need Will just practice and practice on the spare steel I have until I am happy and away I go.
Like most people on here I am on a budget, so the missus has said it must be self funding as much as possible, so ebay has become very popular for my build fund.
Looking forward to starting, although it will be a slow build as I have 3 kids that need a bit of attention too.
Already learnt alot from a few of the build diaries on here (ginge & enoch especially), which are a massive help to any new starter.
Any way enough blubbering heres my first pics of the workshop (as i call it now) before and after.
Don't suppose there is anyone building or built one in West Sussex, Preferably in Worthing at the end of my road

The chassis kit has the first few parts welded, but not the best job, so I will be taking it apart and starting again as it has lifted a little, John may have over-tacked a little bit
