5 May 02

Visited Stoneleigh kit car show. Purchased 2 hotdogs, 1 chicken burger, 2 cups of tea, 2 goes on the bouncy castle and a kitchen clock! Didn't manage to find any bargains, but at least my wife and kids had a good time.

7 May 02 (4 Hours)

Several trips to the local tip to get rid of the seats and doors. Still waiting on getting the shell moved. Managed to start cutting to the tubes for the new chassis. Managed to cut B1, B2, A1, A2, D1 & F1.

11 May 02 (3 Hours)

Hired a transit Luton box van. With the help of 3 friends, lifted the remains of the donor shell in to the back and dropped it off at the a local scrap metal merchant.

13 May 02 (1 Hour)

Tided out the garage now that the shell is finally gone. Cut D2 & F2.

15 May 02 (1 Hour 30 Minutes)

Cut C, E, G1, G2 & J1

29 May 02 (1 Hour)

I've not had much spare time recently, but managed to get some Argon for my welder (thanks Graham & Alan). Spent about an hour practicing welding.

30 May 02 (2 Hours)

Drew the chassis on the base board. Test fitted the tubes for the bottom section of the chassis and fitted small lengths of wood to the board to keep the tubes in place whilst welding. Tack welded A1 & A2, B1 & B2, C, D1 & D2, E, F1 & F2. At last it looks like I've started to build a car rather than just scrapping an Escort and cutting some tubes!
