Yeah having the proper gear will make a big difference.
I also thing its one of those jobs that doing it once in a while once you have finished you have just got the hang of it nicely, and should really start again
Main thing as you say is patience and prep, prep, prep.

Bodywork could be quite enjoyable if you're doing a complete car i think and have the right equipment. but doing the odd bit makes life much more complex

I went to Jefferies Tyres in Bromsgrove and I have to say it was a top place! They've got all new gear and the bloke doing it takes alot of pride in his work. He got the tracking spot on, and completely ignored the tolerances, got it absolutely perfect! Went on there twice to make sure its right after a mini test drive (which i enjoyed alot )
Brakes weren't much to enjoy...needs a good bedding in and the pedal was slightly pulsing under my foot!
as for the engine, it sounds amazing although i don't recall hearing the wastegate opening like i did before...hmmmmmm
On to painting the car till tomorrow night

Glad its all back together Will and you have had a quick chance to enjoy it!!
Brake pedal should smooth out once the system pressure is built up.
I will need my alignment doing once mine is back on the road in a few weeks, might give those guys a try

Looking cracking mate
Shame about that bit of peeling laquer just above the tailpipe - odd that it looks just like the Nordschleife. Maybe get the paint shop to sort that out while it's in there?

It works!!
I think the clutch may need another bleed, bit springy when you take your foot off..hard to describe. But the 5metres I drove it felt good!
Throttle response is much better after putting o-clips on all the vacuum hoses. Hopefully that's sorted it!
I'll grab some pics and a vid after its had its first clean in over 15months!
