This does not incude my hours of cleaning, painting, polishing, repairing and manufacturing of parts etc.
Nor does it include Danny's labour for the motor building or Brian's work on the frame. I am very greatful for there knowledge and skills.
As yet, I am still wiating for a bearing to turn up, but I'm thinking I should start cooling the beer down.
Dont hestiate to let me know if you think I have over estimated or under-estimated the costings, as I said before I already had allot of the parts but cant remember the the cost of them and some parts came as box lots, so in saying that I think most prices are pretty close.
