A couple of shots from this weeks workshop, the guys having completed the construction of several Ulster floor pans, start to layout plants for the buck.

This is brilliant Ian, great to see the results thus far. I'm sure those taking part must be rightfully pleased with their progress.
Are you constructing multiple bodies in the workshops, or are people mainly using what they learn to build at home?
What is attendance like? It seems well worth the money once a fortnight.
Look forward to seeing further updates.

Attendance varies from week to week but usually somewhere between 6 and 12, we have four bodies under construction at the workshop. People also bring in parts from their own cars to work on, this has ranged from an Austin 16/6, Ruby, GE cup, Brooklands, special we even have a chap who brings in parts of a Morris 8....we do make him stand in a corner though hehehe!

Very tolerant of you
.Sounds very popular, and rightfully so. It's nice that people can bring bits from their own projects as well.
Thank you again for posting the progress, I think it's brilliant.
