Andy, try talking to some other local small to medium businesses. Often they have extra space that they don't use and if you negotiate you can often get it at a much reduced price. it also means you're not working alone which can be really depressing.
Also means you have an extra pair of hands or two when needed to lift big heavy things for no extra cost other than maybe a beer or two.

Yeah, I was thinking how could they do it for the money as well. I assumed that there was some kind of trade secret to doing the job without removing body from chassis.

Some people will cut the glass fibre from inside the car to get to the outriggers, then repair the GRP once the welding is done.

dont like the sound of that at all...?
How would they make sure the underside of the fibreglass was sealed as well???
you could end up with water getting into the fibreglass and causing damage...

just thought you guys might like an update.

The body is back on, engine complete with exhaust, bolted the y section in tonight along with the rad so hopefully if i can get some radiator hosing and the new engine mounts turn up tomorrow i can get it started this week...!

Still got to spray the boot, bonnet and both doors but it is getting there...suprisingly i am still married as well...!!!
