My challenge is to beat your time :-)

I've just started a chassi-up rebuild of a 90...  I'm down to the chassis, got a new crossmember and bulkhead outrigger on it, and am about to start bolting bits back on.......

Only 1 1/2 months in...  <gulp>

Call that a spider? Pah! I speet on your spider. There is one in my workshop which is larger than my hand. I've tried to jump on it to squash it, but it's too fast for me.
