I have finally managed to upload my build video and have included it here. I reckon I took longer to produce the video than build the car!!
Many thanks to Craig White for the technology and to all those (too many to name) who helped me with my build - especially those with cameo appearances in this clip.
I just wish that I had set it all up to capture the first half of the build as well although that could get a bit tedious.

Thankfully, the camera was controllable so I switched it off during the most ‘boring’ parts of the build, mostly where I was just scratching my head (although there is a bit of this if you look carefully!!)

Merv (and Sharon),
If you don’t steal my car then you will never find out!!!
The video must be a fake.....I didn't see anyone throwing tools.
Great video how/what did you use to capture it?
Jams
I turned the camera off during the throwing of tools!!!
The camera was (if I remember rightly) a Canon SureShot G2 (thanks again Craig) with the RemoteCapture software. An excellent combination for this kind of thing.
I mounted the camera at the top of the wall and had a shelf below where I sat a laptop which I plugged in any time I was working on the car. The software is very configurable so I set the frame rate according to the activity I was undertaking. While I was lying under the car running fuel lines, I set it at one shot every 30 minutes (boring). Installing the engine – one shot every 30 seconds (just to *capture the moment*).
I then wrapped up the images to a movie file then added the extra footage with MS MovieMaker.
