Tried to get in touch with one of the area AO's, twice, two fails. The other was to start a build blog.

Did the easy stuff in the first, first four chapters. However. 

 

I thought I was doing well to get the brake lines, fuel lines and bulkheads in. I failed to appreciate that the manual could be so wrong in the first few pages. The offset for the steering column hole is, in the manual, 100mm. In real life it's 80mm It's too late to remove the drivers bulkhead so some tin-bashing will have to be done.

 

Then I got to the fitting of the first part of the loom. Hence the first help post and the visit to the factory.

 

From now on I will try to post pictures as well.
