No going back now as sold most of the body panels over the weekend. :o
In for the long haul, even if it scares me shiteless.

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

£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! :|

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

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

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