Well done mate, looking very nice! What's the deal with IVA or equivalent over there

What's the weather like out there? I'm coming to Tabua near Coimbra next week which i think is just south of you?

Having followed your build for some time and seen the quality of your work and the thought and planning that has gone into it, i dont doubt that its finished. It looks fabulous and better than the car you previewed. Very well done.

many thanks to all.
Eznfrank,
Tabua is 40 minutes away from Viseu, about 25 miles.
contact to me and come to see my car and talk a bit.
the weather for now is just fine, sunny and 20 something degrees.
thanks to all in this forum, I learned a lot with you.
cheers

steve m - 3/9/10 at 10:05 AM

Well done, Amadeu - it looks like a really nicely built car. The dash and reused/disguised clocks are a bit different from the usual and are a neat touch.

What hassles will you have to gt it IVAd (or equivalent) and registered?

Well done , car looks great


Canada EH! - 3/9/10 at 02:50 PM

And thank you for posting your build, it has helped me with areas of the build that kept me up at nights. Thanks again.

Nice car and compliments again on the dash. Something you dont see aften and finished well.

One question:

"Here it is the final view of the dashboard. Note the old
Toyota 'cones' were substituted by normal discs made
of polycarbonate."

Where are these cones you speak of?

Enjoy the driving. As / / / its never finished!

IMO he ment that the original glas off the gauges are in a "cone" shape, he replaced them by flat polycarbonate.

well, that's a good question. I think all of you know that UK is the only EU country that have a particular legislation about these cars.
so, in Portugal we have a so-called 'legal void' that could be exploited to registrate the car.
this is the second big step I'll make immediately.
then I'll tell you if I catch that registration plate.
cheers and thanks again all for great words about my work.
