Sorry to hear work's bad, and I hope the injury wasn't too bad!

If you get to any stage where there are some slow and laborious jobs that you'd trust any of us to help, just ask :)

Cheers guys, managed to get a coat on what I could fit in the booth yesterday afternoon and hope to get another done later today once I have done with some more laptop work once I am home from the weekly shop.
Part of the issue of accepting help is I presently snatch an hr or so when I can, but if I get to stage I can devote a day and organise enough stuff to keep a few busy for a while I will take up the offers :D

Hi Rich. As DJ et al have said I’m free labour too so give me a shout if you need a hand. Why don’t you book a Saturday in say a few weeks time and have an open house for help. Get organised and build up to the day. I’m sure a load of us could spare a few hours.

I’m in. I’m a great tea maker and biscuit provIder!

At the moment I need to get some bodywork done as it stops other assembly work, once side panels go on, only then can seat, seat belts, exhaust go on. Until rear panel on can't put lights or arches on etc.

Some fibreglass panels ready for a top coat, started on the same final prep for some other FG panel and initial works on some of the Ali panels.
Look like I am up for some more sanding tomorrow

Looking good Rich.

Hope you're getting some more time for it now.

keep at it Rich, and get to a point where you can call the cavalry/cowboys to give a hand
