Pics of the wheel I made.  Quite pleased with how it turned out

So the post on FB about what everybody is building and the first Northern Builders Meet has really got me fired up to work on my ERA again.

I've stripped the whole thing down to individual components ready for painting.  Once this is done I can then focus on getting it running properly and the body.

I had a very pleasant Sunday drilling drain holes and putting the end caps on my chassis in preparation for painting.  Lots of welding and grinding...well, more grinding than welding actually.

Finished the build of the grill yesterday.  It has been more of a challenge than I thought it would be with all the angles.  I did spend a lot of time on it though as quite often this is the first thing people look at and I wanted to make a good impression.  Still to be painted but I'm chuffed with the result so far.

I've had a couple of cracking days in the workshop, really enjoyed myself and pleased with the results so far.  I've never done anything like this before and it's an absolute hoot! 

My missus asked me what my advice would be to someone just about to start this stage...take your time and get yourself an extra fine Sharpie.
