And its FINISHED!!

After months and months of work and no-end of detailing, the chassis is all covered in primer and ready to be re-united with the body!

Hey thanks!!! Really appreciate that!!!

We're still aiming for Stanford Hall (2012...)
BUT
There is still an unbelievable amount of work to do on it.

I've got to have a rough deadline, otherwise without one, it will slip and take longer and longer. We're just going to keep pushing and pushing and working away as fast as we can (without cutting corners) and fingers crossed it might happen!!!

There will be more updates later next week and the week after we've got an extra guy in for a 'blitz' week, so expect some seriously major changes then!!!

Thanks again for the kind comments!

We're cutting off the long side as we speak (or rather type....)

Yeah, still hoping for Stanford Hall and Vikki Farm first too, but there's still soooooooooooooo much to do, and as always its 3rd parties who will let us down, but we're still aiming for it.

Here's the results of yesterday's efforts :omg: :omg: :omg:
