Project threads
Afternoon
I’ve got a great project coming in today- what’s the general consensus on project threads to document it?
I don’t mind doing them as they help document all the works done, but do the dwellers of the forum care/enjoy them?
Thoughts?
Stuart
Pic for scope of project!!

Go for it Stu...
Yours have got to be more interesting than Martin's ones.
Can't wait to see how the air-cooled Z4 works out TBH.
If you get yourself some practice with GRP, you can come and help with mine.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Yes do it!
I like you keep a thread going to document work done (especially useful come sale time) and also document all the products/approaches I use in case anyone wanted to see how they work.
