Thanks to everyone for your kind words of encouragement. It's taken a lot more work than anticipated but I'm sure the results will be worth it.

Final test fit of the first panels...

Now it's starting to really look like something, two more panels to go... I'm surprised at how easy it is to roll it around the back yard,
should be no problem for the car to tow it.

Tomorrow the last panel goes on and I will officially have an enclosed 'box'.

I hope this signifies the 2/3 point in the build. After being filled and sanded smooth, the front section will be covered with aluminium sheet.
