No going back now as sold most of the body panels over the weekend.

In for the long haul, even if it scares me shiteless.

I agree.

That is the easy bit. You have done all the difficult bits so far!

£1,000 in and it's not worth a penny now! Just about to push the button on £20k of expenditure without it being driveable (or even painted).
If my wife knew she would be even more annoyed with me than usual!

Wow. What’s the long term plan and goal?

Nice progress so far and the end result would look great.

Hope you can still drive when you finish it in 20 years

Made a major mistake already....flogged the rear wings and apparently should have kept them!

More fabricating work now...oh goody.

If she finds out, just point out to her that some people (on here) spend that much on tires each year

Good progress so far

Hopefully this project will keep you interested for longer than the five minutes that you usually keep your cars

His wife is co-funding it, something about keeping him out of the house

Interestingly, my wife has similar views on how much time I should spend inside the house
