Do i wait till IVA comes in?
I'm pretty well on with my build now, and have just about got all the parts to complete the project. However! the time I'm taking I'll
not finish before the IVA comes in. I'm ready to have the chassis shot-blasted and powder-coated but do I hang fire, just in case i have to weld
extra brackets or lugs on?

are you putting an electric reverse on?
I'd say keep going, you could always touch up any areas that welding had effected or use rivnuts

Theres not much difference between SVA and IVA so i would just carry on as normal.

Not much difference??? How about the cost?!!!
Im working as hard as i can to make SVA before it changes to IVA in April (i think). I dont think il make it but if i dont im going to have a car
sitting on the drive until i can save up enough money 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?
