Its just about 6 hours on a Saturday for me, and occasionally the same on Sunday as well. Since it got cold and dark I have only spend about 2 hours a month. Hope things will speed up again soon.

As for non productive research time on the net - 2 hours a day!

It's strangely comforting to hear how many hours people spend on their roadster makes me realise my progress ain't that bad! I normally get around 8 bu sometimes upto 12 a week.

If you include research, planning and reading...

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

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.

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 . Got to spend some money on bits and pieces soon like tube to fab the wishbones etc.
