It is and good luck to him.
One observation though, he seems to be cutting an awful lot out and not bracing the bodyshell anywhere..............
He also cut the hinge pillars off both sides in one hit, so no reference points for the replacements?
I hope he doesn't come to regret his early 'gung ho' enthusiasm......
Best wishes,
Mike.

He’s also got a Facebook page if you search him out.
There’s a lot more stuff on there including bracing of the body shell, he’s really steaming into it.

I have done so now and am relieved that he has.
I have also liked a few of his posts on there, as you say he's really cracking on with it now.
Best wishes,
Mike.
