I have just made a modification to my radiator, requiring me to disconnect all the pipes and mounts. I have done this several times now for various reasons, and it occured to me I must have built my car at least twice for every item on it - the trial fit, thenthe real fit, but for probably the majority I have built and re-built it 5 or 6 times!!
The next one would be much quicker..............or doesn't it work like that??

The Gooster has inspired me to get on get my engine running before Easter...
I do keep thinking the next one might be quicker, well if I do build another one I think it will be one that at least comes with a good instruction manual!
I lost track of the number of times I had reassembled things while trying to make a bracket or fit a part

He he, yes, you wait until you get to fit the bodywork. I lost count of the number of times I fitted and removed the rear tub and its not that easy!
But it's all part of the fun
Then like me when your nearly finished you can start thinking about upgrading to a new engine or something

And those bonnet tops - trimming them is a nightmare - mine must have been on and off at least a dozen times. Then when they are just right you find out you need to do something that involves removing the nosecone and the fun starts again.....
As Peter says - It's all part of the fun. Just think of all the shopping trips it has saved you from.....
