Well made a bit of progress over the last week managed to finish painting the chassis so the build can really start. Iv ordered all the aluminium and toll delivery and iv made and fitted the floor today so a shed load of drilling holes later and a shed load of pop riveting my hands are a bit worse for wairs but it's all worth it

well its been a while since iv had time to work on my car 6weeks as I'm working night shift at work on a shut down any way the plus side is iv been able to spend a bit and buy some bits for my car and I managed to spend some time on it today as I had the night of last night but back in tonight. So iv fitted and mounted the rad but together my nice new peddle box from OBP and done some panel work around the tunnel. Iv got a couple more weeks to go on night before back to normal but by the end I will be buying the body work but the wife doesn't know that yet
