theres no key mate , i gaurentee you will loose motivation its inevitable !!
all i can say it helps to have good friends and a supportive missus , i could of threw the towel in numerous times if i didnt have anne marie telling me im not allowed !!
just rember two things 1 . its a project and 99% unless you have a fortune in the bank it will not be done instantly - it will have delays !
and 2 . nothing is as ever bad as it first seems , if u hit a small issue go have a brew , if its something more stressing ( family , work , money ect ) lock the doors for a week or so and get ur head back into it !
hope that helps !

Beef, no need to worry, i'll settle for a good look round at one of the shows, there is no way i would expect ( or want ) to drive someone's car that has had so much time, effort and patience go into it to get it to the quality it is now!
Amazing build and hats off to all you and your friends work - it certainly has paid off.

anyway , went and got k popped and picked up some 3 m double sided tape and headed to see gaz @ a&d hq
gaz had found time to refit the bonnet and tailgate , there not fully set . as with the doors , so no whonky comments about the gap being out or door low ect
WE ALREADY KNOW !!!
anyway piccy time !!
and the two men responsable for this thing of beauty
tapes , fixings ect
me and k got on with fitting up the kit , an absolute breeze with it being riv nuted
1 side done , fit is perfect !!
other side .. ( note the other side will be removed , 1 riv nut needs replacing , and the frotn arch needs rotating clockwise around 2-3 mm as its not alligned 1000%
more of the shell with the kit on
few gratuitious inside and underside shots for the folk just finding the thread
and some more of it being loaded
fit and finish of the kit is fantastic
and two of pf's finest , ginge (paul16v ) and wenny
thanks for the help lads ,
cheeky shot of 1 happy beef and the spesh
so we headed off home , and k got a few snaps on the motorway ( sun came out )
personally i love these nxt 3 pics !!
upon asking wenny to slow down for pics
and our expression to his reply
overall a great day !!! cant thank gaz enough for all his hard work and effort on the project
as well as k and wenn and my brother ginge !!1
