Pre IVA pics, think mines ready too.
After setting the emissions today i think i'm just about ready. As always can you cast a critical eye over my car to see if there is anything
else i need to do. The steering wheel will be replaced for the test. Thanks

Very nice
Have you checked the fog light height? I had mine there and it was low by about 20mm.

I think it will fail as it obviously has not been built by an amateur builder. 
Looks like a professional job to me, that's a cracking looking build, well done, very neat and clean, which actually goes a long way in the test
I think. If it looks well built then tester probably won't delve quite as deep as he would if you turned up with a complete dogs dinner.
I'm not saying he will just take one look and pass it though. You still need to cover all the known points.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Are the seat belt top buckles higher than the holes in the seats (looks close in the pic's). If not they'll fail as the seat then is
considered structural.
It might be worth wrapping the cat just to help it get/stay hot. Is it a bias-bar set-up and is the locking labled? Chassis number marked on off-side?
Hows the self centering?
Can't see any other issues. You always stand a better chance when the build looks that good.

Looks good, is the fuel filler cap tethered? I had that same fuel filler and because you could take your key out of it in the unlock position, meant
it had to be tethered.
Otherwise good effort!

They have been rolled back on themselves so should be fine.

is your boot an actual boot or just a cover?
if it's an actual boot i believe you have to have a lock as well.....

Do you have too many sets of repeaters? In a previous post i was told you are only allowed 1 set each end. You have front, rear and rear arch... not
sure if that is a problem? I was probably miss informed. lol

Im suprised the grammer/ punctuation police havnt pointed out you need a ? after 'have you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle' on your
van!
But one potential problem I have seen is your manual choke- Ive read on here somewhere that it might need a light to warn if the chokes on.... Ive
looked for it in the manual but cant find anything specifically related to this.
Apart from that - cracking looking 7!

Theres one set of side repeaters on the arch, 1 set of rear indicators at the back and theres 1 set of front idicators on the front?!

As already said, top build chap! well done!
Only thing I can see is the tyres are too dusty! 
Get it booked in matey  Mine's in 2 weeks ! eeeeeek! 
I know it's daft, but I'm pooing myself 
Seems wierd that it took me an age to build and it all comes down to a few hours in the hands of a chap I've never ever met!
