What do you do for a living? A car like this not only requires a decent budget but some serious skills.

not realy mate , everyone thinks that but its taken me 2 and a half years and will of cost about £20 grand when finished so works out that i spend just over £130 a week on it so it can be done on quite a low wage as i spend all my money on it and nothing else

I understand that. Just wondered if you were a mechanic by trade as putting a whole car together is quite a job. And you seem to make it look easy

I too wondered what you do for a living. As said above serious skills to be able to build a car of that spec. It's amazing

No before this I couldn't even change my breaks but once I took it all apart I had to learn how to put it all back together and if there is something I'm stuck on I have to go round to my mates garage and ask him

i envy you, some serious hard wok gone into this.

just stripping a car for parts is bad enough, let alone fitting it back together, nut and bolt at a time, whilst trying not to damage anything
