                    Thanks for the comments lads. It was three and a half years, of a few hours every evening in a garage that is only 2 feet longer and 2 feet wider than the car. Not to mention having the welder, compressor, parts and tools in there with me. Sprayed it in there too. All in all it added up to about 1,400 hours of labour that went into it, and there's been some tweeks here and there since. They're never really finished are they.
