Judging by the letters on that block I'd say it's going to be, wish I had the cash for one of those but house move is going to eat up a lot

I'm moving house in May so have to get the rear diff back on and get it rolling to move it down! Then once in the garage I can start playing again properly

After having a long hard think about things I may be selling my project with the build going to be costing in excess of £5-6k it will take a long long time to get it back on the road! Will possibly putting up a for sale thread soon with all the bits!

Hope that's not the case, this was shaping up to be a cracking build. Would it not be worth lowering the target for now and getting it going

Woah I did not expect to read that Merv,but I can fully understand where your coming from mate,I am having similar thought's about mine at times given what little time I have lately.
I always left thinking when will it ever be done,tbho some of the plans will have to get ditched on mine to get it done in any reasonable amount of time.
Good luck which ever way you decide to go with her mate

I know I will regret it but once I'm sorted in the house then I'll see about getting another one! I'll be putting a for sale thread up soon but if anyone wants anything then by all means PM me! All the big stuff will be available for collection from Cardiff area, unless I can meet you halfway! Would rather you inspected the item before buying it so everyone is happy
