Cheat and use Eric's build thread for the wiring.
The door skins and all the niggly bits are what take the time.
Once the basic shell is on you can drive it and work on each when you want.

Thanks Jag, I've bookmarked Eric's posts on the wiring.
Set a rough schedule with my mate to get things done. From reading the threads on here (and I'm doing a lot of reading!) the strip down and bodywork, minus the doors, looks straight forward and quick enough. The doors look like they could be a real struggle, not done any fibre glassing before so no idea how I'll reshape etc if I need to. Will be a real learning experience. As will cutting the door skins and getting the handles to work.
The real time though seems to be sunk into the finishing and painting.
I'm due to head to Barcelona in late Sept. Plan is to make sure the car is ready before then and drive down in it.
