hahaha im the same ,specialy when its cold as i have to work outside lol
the only thing that keeps me going is tea, brad

[Scotauto]

Lovely and warm inside the workshop for me It makes all the differnce I think. Here in Denmark it's pretty cold at the moment too so extra happy for my heated workshop. Keeps the rust away too!

Tough call - I am sure you COULD, but I don't think you will because of your attention to quality and precise work.... looks good!

[beaubrad]

thats it , rub it in lol ,well my garage is the carpark at the back of me house lol, so what colour you going???

[Scotauto]

Yeah you may have me there.. I definetly won't rush it just to meet the challenge! But If things go as planned without hiccups I hope I get quite far. Maybe even Syned (MOTed) by 5 o'clock

[Scotauto]

haha! nah nah! It's only warm now since I got my good mate to come and find all the leaks in the doors and walls that were letting the gale forces in...

I look forward to seeing the progress pics tomorrow night... I'm sure you'll get plenty done to the usual super high standards!

[Scotauto]

haha! Is all I can say. I've spent almost all day trying to get the rear wing to fit. It was miles of in every direction!! The door shape/curve was no were near the same and the door step, which I have already had problems with, didn't help matters either. Gentle shaping and brutality has been the name of the game. Now it's in place and the door can shut although it's only just tacked on at the moment. So much for getting the whole back end done
Photos are the underside frame which I also managed to fit!!, The wing in place, Inside of wing with support frame and inner wing

Great stuff fella... no shame in taking your time

[edi57]

That's still great progress. Who supplied the rear wings?

[Scotauto]

The rear wings are from M-Machine.. actually all the grey parts are from M-Machine. They make them themselves and they are pretty good quality. They can also supply all the other bits too (free plug!)
Thanks Jupitus.. I guess you won the little bet .... haha! I got no were near fiting the bits I wanted to.

[Scotauto]

Only a little time on the pickup today but managed to get the other rear wing on. It was a much better fit than the right side!!
