Still plodding on although redundancy and custody battles taking up most of my time at the moment

I chose build in progress but probably more truthfully would be that I'm in denial and its actually more like a dormant build as it seems I'm making very little progress.

The dream is still there but family life is not playing fairly, although as always hope to crack on soon

Car completed, and registered today

But as everyone knows, a build is never over, so mine can be considered "still in progress" as well. I don't want to do a lot of stuffs on the car, I mostly want to enjoy it, and stop spending crazy money on it, as I have other plans for 2015, especially going back to travel the world and dive.

But the car has been weighted 687 kg with a full fuel tank. it is a lot, that is the part I'm not happy with, and the work I'm going to do along the way is trying to reduce this weight. Brakes, battery, perhaps seats... we'll see

Build ongoing, started August last year. Just finished changing the engine from a BMW 2.8 to a Jag 3.0 - I'm now back where I was in early September - brake lines!

Talking

95% of donor stripped and deposit down for chassis and wishbones.

At the beginning of a long road (especially between work, little ones and keeping the wife happy by not spending too much time in the garage), but loving it... so far at least!

Wow! It's gone! £450 quid, I only posted the application yesterday afternoon. Money left my bank at 9:31 this morning! I'm in shock!
