i did say "before IVA prep"
something im not looking forward to 
but at least ill be able to drive the car up and down my (single car length) driveway 
hmm, i don't even want to start a list
i've sort of done a list of jobs, but its not as detailed as yours!
here's what i've got
http://locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/jobs.JPG
the reason its so detailed is so it feels that im progressing everytime I go in the garage, rather than it taking a week to cross one thing off..
oh dear god... don't break out the project management software! its enough to bring a grown man to tears!
lol it was my dads idea. its a good one too. as you can see, i'm not using all the time line nonsense on it, or the car should have been done in 2005 lol
Good idea perhaps i should do one as i seem to go from one bit to another in no particular order.
its always a case of oh i cant fit that till ive done this oh cant do that till ive made that etc etc
any way at least you know what you need to do

if you can get microsoft project, you set up the order that things have to be done in too. so it helps you know what you can do and when. just had a look at ms project I could get my shocks for that sort of money lol is there a free similar bit of software any where?
sorry for the hijack or should i start a new thread?
Ray
hijack is absolutely fine

your well ahead of me. my list starts with finish welding suspension brackets to chassis
starting to feel good about it again now though. can start to see it in my head as a finished car. I've even picked my colour
i've been thinking about colours too! lol
can't decide if painting flames up the front is a bad idea or not
