Righto
The wiring is as far advanced as it can be,
Insulation is complete, most of it done by my 14 year old son, nice work junior.
The cladding has been delivered today and I have started to make up a template to cut out the guards.
This, while it is a very exciting stage is giving me a bit of concern, measured everything 100s of times, only time will tell.

And a word to the wise. make sure you cut out and deal with the bits you want to drill before you say to the kids, "Ok, you can write on the plastic" I am going to have to buy a red texta soon so I can see what I need to see.

Hi Magilla, many thanks for keeping us all up to date on your progress. I suggest you've got quite an audience on the forum and we can't wait to see the final product.

Cheers...

Thanks guys, its been great fun, and is so close I can taste it. I think it will be on the road soon , useable but not finished.
TV blew up so I replaced it today, but I think I should have waited till tonight when I found out how much is was to cost me for servicing my racing mountain bike :-(
