Finished..!!!!!
Discussion
Finally finished the chassis..! 3 weeks every evening of stripping(ooer), rubbing(ooer again) and painting. NEVER again. I know some of you guys have done the same, so will understand my feelings and the mental and sometimes physical pain i went through. I.e numb fingers, aching neck muscles, aching stomach muscles, covered in paint, covered in oil, stinking, followed by 2 hours in the shower using a scourer to remove skin attached paint/oil..every bloody night!!
I must admit to wanting to give up at least every other night and just get the chassis done like NHyde's (which is stunning Neil) but i really wanted to spend my money on fun things for the car like better suspenders, replacing the flintstone brakes and maybe more power.
Well..after all that the car is due to be collected by Peninsular Tuesday
Thanks for all advice guys, can't wait to get

Nice one! I know the relief that you must be feeling now its all finished.It's been 12 months since I did mine now, still looks as good as when it was finished, just the odd stone chip to attend to.
You can keep on top of the chassis much easier now. Looks like you are going the same route as me, suspension next then nice cosmetic bits!
Get some pictures posted!
Cheers
