Congratulations!!
I am also thinking of doing a body off job. My clutch and gear box start to wear out, so I want to do the whole bunch in one time.
How long have you worked, to do the complete job?

Its taken rather longer than I hoped. All in I reckon it will be nearly two years…!!!! Having said that I broke my leg 15 months ago and spent 4 months in bed which kind of slowed me down. Also, I went from doing a quick outrigger repair to complete chassis strip and powdercoat. I also replaced loads of bits. The problem is you get into 'while I've gone this far I may as well change……." mode.

If you are doing all the work yourself and doing it during the evenings and the odd weekend I reckon a realistic timeframe is 5-9 months depending on the amount of time the Indoor General lets you spend in the garage..!!

P.S. I'm only 400% over budget so not too bad.
