It was, by a long way. I did have a couple of months off due to holidays and was doing it in between other jobs.
If I do another one I would try and condense the build. My stop start approach was wrong, you need to have a time scale and try and keep to it.
From the moment you put your deposit down on the kit you can start buying parts. What you need to buy is well documented on the build threads. Ordering as you go and finding things out of stock can lead to long delays.
Try and buy the car beforehand so you can carry out any work before you commence the build.

As for persuasion at home, just buy it and lie about the price, that way you only get one bollocking , otherwise you get a bollocking when...
You suggest it
Tell her the price
The car turns up
The kit turns up

So save yourself some bollockings.
You could also be very brave and present her with a Z3 on the drive with a big bow on valentines day.

You would obviously need a massive pair to pull that off.
