Well my plans to spend at least a few on hours on the build on my home week have since been halted.
New bathroom on its way tomorrow so today's task is ripping out the current one!

Well I was home for 2 weeks and managed to do nothing at all.
Away for another 5 weeks now.....

It's not for the motivation to do anything, it's just simply finding time.

Just keep reminding yourself that there is no hurry, enjoy the build, and planning the build!

Well I now have approx 90% of all the bits I need.
Just a speedo, exhaust and some minor electrics required.

Oh, and about 300 hours of free time to put it all together.....

Happy days

No updates to shout about, as mentioned previously I 'think' I have all the parts to finish the build (maybe the occasional oversight though).
Promised myself I will find a few hours over Xmas to tidy garage (again) and crack on with the car.
Target 1 to get a rolling chassis.
Target 2 to get brakes plumbed in.

Due to space restrictions in the garage I have a few questions regards to the build sequence. Does anyone suggest a dedicated sequence to save fitting/removing parts?

I would like to get some bodywork pieces fastened in place before engine install (side panels & rear tub), don't mind the occasional scratch as the pieces will be removed and painted eventually. Just need space in the garage to work around.
