When do you hope to SVA your Luego??

As the title says when do you all hope to have your pride and joy road legal, if you are still building as I am.

Hopefully this will also help push 'Where is...' down the list

cheers

Hope to SVA my Viento over Christmas. The car is up and running just needs a rear brake fluid leak sorting and some trim.

Oh and a chassis plate making – must buy some punches…..

Paul.

edit - its taken 3 1/2 years to get to this stage

I think the key is to not rush at it. It'll take some time and it's a shame to resent spending all your time on the car when you'ld rather be doing something else.... Just plod away at it as and when the mood strikes and you'll get it done eventually

Then again, it took me 4 and a half years

Hope to be on the road next spring. Im about to fit a new kitchen at home so will have to divide any spare time between house and workshop!
Next job is ordering the wheels, more expense! At first rough measure it looks like 265s might fit?

Kenton, 255 on my rears (on 9" wide wheels) - Just enough clearance on inside and about 1/2 inch in from outer edge of rear wing so 265 would take it to the limit before you'd need wider rear wings...

I would like mine ready for April 2009, but all depends on the cash flow,and how many parts i can get manufactured to reduce the build time
