If I get that nice back panel from you Dangle, it'll definitely help motivate me! It'll be my first piece of bodywork acquired.

I built mine at a time when secong daughter was born and i had to take time off for a minor operation which turned out to be more traumatic then i
planned (tonsils). Its all doable if you plan it out in small manageable jobs.
I know what you mean when you have to keep asking and checking, but think how much harder it would be without such a good source of knowledge /
encouragement.
One day you will look back and wonder what the fuss was about. Then you will be planning the next upgrades and go through it all again

Oh, once is going to be plenty enough, thanks!!
You guys have been amazing though (so far!), and I can't thank you enough (even the unnamed person who recently sold his car and moved away...)
Now I know what "numpty" means for example!
I must say something positive: I put my rear end, parking brake (2 x 20 km trips to the motor factor (Mazda dealer for us) for info), hubs and brakes
all together yesterday. Felt pretty good, I have to say.
It's not easy all by yourself that's for sure. The US builders are all into reinventing the wheel, not putting "kits" together
as most on here do.

Nah, the brits are just purists. Once we have a good idea we stick with it in essence - just tweek. After we decided the best wheel should be round
no-one seems to have come up with better design
Good news ref build update. When you say 20 miles to closest factor i guess that is just like us going into town 2 miles!!)

Wasn't like that in Vancouver where I'm from. Our area is very spread out. Shopping is not any fun, which is why I can afford the project.
