Lol, wouldn't that be nice, but I reckon if I keep to the build schedule I will have it close to completion in about 6 months time.. Fingers crossed - there's a lot to do on the body side, the chassis is relatively easy all things considered..

The front and rear springs are un-sprung at the moment and I need to find the right compression height for them once I have all of the weight applied to the chassis, and by my calcs that will drop the spring retainer on the front shocks by around 100mm, however the beauty of this design in that both of these mounts locate inside the outer guard which is set up from the bonnet, so it will have plenty of clearance when finally positioned.

Cheers
