Default Started.... Again

I forgot how much I enjoyed my last build and was always sad I never finished, this time I've come back more determined. Everything is taking a lot less time so far.

I constructed my build table with four legs and diagonal supports. I never noticed on the first build until a bit late that my first table sagged in the middle you need a very long straight edge to check. I wanted my chassis to be spot on this time and again the middle has sagged by 3mm, after careful measuring I have inserted some legs in the middle and its now as straight as I'm going to get it so I'm happy!

Its all marked out now so next step is weldling the lower chassis. I think once that is done it will be a speedy build of the chassis.

And against my better judgement I think I'm going BEC route and looking to buy a complete engine package from a seven to make installation quick and easy.

Really enjoying getting back into it, this time no wife moaning at me at 9:00pm!
