Is it finished yet?
Yeah, cummon Cam, it's nearly the weekend and I need some more build porn!
(I also told work I was leaving early next year.. so having to save & plan for that too!)
Word up homies. It's been a while and I have a list of excuses as long as I wish my penis was, but I have been back in the workshop this weekend building the spray booth.
So far I have imprisoned the 205..
Hopefully I'll get the roof on tomorrow.
It's all designed to be put up & taken down a few times, as I'll only need it to prep the shell for moulding then it will need to come down for a few months while I get the last bits of the chassis sorted out, powder coated etc.

I originally read this thread nearly a year ago when you were just starting out on the welds. All I can say is that I am completely amazed at the quality of this car. It is a credit to your engineering and building skill, I hope that you go on to have a ton of success racing it and a great laugh in the process. Keep up the great work I'll be watching with great interest from here on.

You can find it here, along with the rest of the tutorial:

They don't show you how to make the templates from CAD, but if you're fluent enough with CAD to be modelling things it should be easy enough to figure out.
Whats the title of this vid? I can't get the link to work - it just redirects me to youtube's homepage.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeeSsmsm9h0&lis...

Thanks very much! Racing success will depend on how well I can pedal it! Not very much has happened in the past few weeks as I've been preparing to leave my job. I think it should start getting back to full speed in February / March when I've got things a bit more settled!
Just found this thread tonight ,building a race car is about the detail and the attention to detail . I've come across a few of these types of projects and this one is by far the most interesting and entertaining and informative by a country mile . My only criticism is that the thread has come to an end for now ..... Haste ye back

Thanks! Unfortunately I have no updates for you, and it's unlikely I will be able to get back to it until mid-March / early April! I have 7 working days left at my job and am focusing 100,000,000% of my spare time on getting my business going, so that I can hit the ground running! Once I've got the car moved over to my new unit, got the workshop set up, and got a bit of stability, I'll be hitting the project again hard.
For anyone who is interested, I got my website up and running last night!

Rest assured I will not be abandoning the build!
