Fantastic progress though.
Puts my 3 year build to shame !
Cheers
Rich
P.S and your garage is far too tidy!!! You're making us all look really bad!!!

show off!! 
We gain knowledge faster than we do wisdom!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Great progress can't wait to get started on mine, will this be a ongoing build thread?

Yeah, do a cleanup before you take those pictures would you? It will also enable you to find all those parts you just bought, instead of having to go
buy new things that you already have, but forgot about, 2 years later. Of course you'll be done next Saturday...
Nice work! Keep it up!!!

Good progress but don't get too carried away, the bits you've fitted are large and quite straightforward. There'll be times when you
work on it for weeks but it's appearance doesn't seem to change at all and you can easily lose enthusiasm. Take it steady and methodically
(unless you're racing against time for whatever reason)

Just wait till you get to the fiddly bits. what I thought to be hour long jobs have dragged out to a full day!
To be fair i've never really done much car building wise, and it's been a good learning experiance 
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

"Good learning experience". That's SWMBO talking: "Yes, I know you've spent tens of thousands, but look what
you've learned!"

Listen to this man he knows what he is talking about. The Trim details in this photo of my Indy front end took over ten hours to do! I am as
enthusiastic as they come but I almost lost the will to live after polishing ali to a mirror finish for 2 hours solid.
