So Eleanor is now safe and sound in the garage. It would appear that there is a mind blowing amount of research involved in this building stuff. To date I have done some work on cars in varying degrees and consider my self to have an average knowledge of mechanics etc. The rest I'm going to have to pick up as I go along. One thing I have discovered is not to rely on the build manual. I was given the original manual 2003 version with the car and it is different from the latest one I've subsequently purchased. These differences are in part down to the current IVA requirements but there are also some changes and omissions that mean further purchase from the manufacturer rather than being able to either fab something yourself or source elsewhere more cheaply.....
The body is now off and I have built a 'dolly' to house it until I can get some space in the garage. This should give enough support to the body to avoid distortion and allows me to put the other car underneath as well as my bike! Getting crowded in here...

With a little help I've managed to get the body up onto the dolly and it leaves me enough room to work for a little while.....
