Oh you're so right! It's been hard completing all the mechanicals but as you say now the bodywork me going on for mockup it's starting to take shape! It'll come on so fast now I hope.
Hmm I do hope this is true haha. I don't want any issues for a long time if I can avoid it
oh and it's been awfully stressful, allot of tears shed.

Getting close to 5 digits. May actually have exceed it in fact!I'm sure it's not only been emotionally draining, but also financially, I hate to think how much you've spent so far.

I have made a decision, I'm going to buy four brand new fully galvanised doors with all new internals pretty much. The price of four second hand puma doors is absurd, it's only a couple hundred more to get them new with mostly al new parts. I'll call and haggle in a couple weeks

When i was looking, it seemed that new skins/frames were about £300 each, but then all the insides pushed the price right up.
Ive (supposedly) purchased some complete units from a breaker for £300 each (as in i dont have them yet).
Ive heard of others paying about the same, so, i guess, that's as good a target price as any.
I think puma door cards alone are about £80 each (new)? Hence wanting to buy complete.
I cant remember, and dont want to look - i thought yours was going to be a high-cap? How come 4-off doors?

Puma doors are normally complete doors about £400 each, Sometimes more. I really don't want to have door rot a few years down the line hence wanting to just buy full galvanised doors. For the price it'd cost me to buy three extra doors and galvanise them all then to add my time into it I may as well just buy new in the first place!
Also a few pages back I decided I was going to do it how I want now rather than change later! Costing a bit more but rather have it how I want first time round rather than just putting up with a cramp single cab.

Given you're still spending money on this project you must have had a very decent sum aside 'just in case'.
Well done, large numbers of people twice your age don't have the forward planning and self discipline to build up a proper safety net.
Good work.

Just a hard worker, have been running two jobs while doing the project and even while off I've been making money. Just what you know sometimes.

I'm far to much hard work for everyone! I'll be a life long single pringle!Get to the back of the queue - she want a Midget / Spridget next - my sort of girl
Eating your own poo ? not sure if that's worse than an offer to defecate on someone that i've had.. that's a story for another day though haha

*Guilty* but I was a pup at the time and there was a stomach bug going around.
..... it's a puppy thing .... they all do it but most grow out of it thank goodness 
mine adore the sheep poo and we have rather a lot at the moment. But the younger dog did manage to revive a cold lamb last week by continually licking its face until it emerged from unconsciousness. Rather sweet really.
