Yeah, yeah. I've been looking at so many build pics on this forum that I almost welded in the steering support on the right.

Just looking back at my blog, it seems I started mine 2 years and 4 months ago, and I'm still not finished!

Keep going Alga - looks like you are working to a really good standard - keep it up!

I wouldnt worry guys I'm 3 years in and still not as far along as either of you!

mind you I made some daft decisions at the start with various things and have had 2 house moves a job change and a divorce to deal with so i dont worry to much, lol im still building to strip down again i didnt want to get the chassis powdercoated till all the holes were drilled and all the brackets welded

That is looking great Albert

A huge moment of the build that's for sure
Still remember the day I rolled my chassis out of the workshop for the first time .... Wheels certainly seem to bring the chassis to life.

Looks like your little ones are having great fun

Keep up the great work, I love to see builds making progress

Just about 7 weeks shy of three years, it moves on its own power:
