     I am pleased to announce that 4 years and 11 months since I drove my 
     Spitfire 1500 into my garage for the last time, that last night, with 
     the help of 3 colleagues from work, I separated the body tub from the 
     chassis.
     I have never said that the restoration would be a quick job - it has 
     always been my intention that ever task must be perfect before the 
     next one is started.  I do sometimes wonder how long it will 
     eventually take me though.
     My girlfriend, wife to be in 9 days time, is already starting to get 
     excited about the first drive, as she has never actually driven 
     anywhere in it (I have only known her for 4 years and 10 months).  I 
     had to keep reminding her that there is still a long way to go yet.
     
     Let the chassis / suspension rebuild begin.
     
     Cheerio
