Thanks for all the encouraging comments
Ref the contacts – 15 years of engineering and messing around with cars tends to help Luckily I have managed to find most of what I need (i.e. cant do myself) locally and at reasonable cost / good quality. Through my job I also have access to a basic engineering workshop (lathe, miller, press, guillotine, folder etc) so I tend to stay on a lot after work (and living local to my workplace) I can nip in at strange hours / weekends etc but unfortunately I don’t get paid for overtime I would have really struggled with my hobbies without that access - or they would have cost me a lot more
I was hoping to have the frame coated by now so I could build it up over the crimbo period but the girl friends company has just closed her facility (announcement on the 3rd – production finishes on the 19th :shock: ) so I will have to watch the pennies for while. The plan will be to get Christmas out of the way and then send it early January – I guess ‘photo’ updates will be a bit scarce until then …
