Hey guys, im hoping the car is pretty much ready for IVA, minus a few covers here and there, ive uploaded some photos, if any one can spot any failure points, or things i can do better please let me know! ( if you are wondering about the other car in the background its my mates car, im finishing off building my kit in his garage as he has a 4 post lift...very handy)

Hi car looks good
You will need a cover over the battery
The boot needs a lid it covers all the sharp bits in the boot
try and get the wires up behind the dash
look out for sharp edges any where on the car

Loads of nut covers.
You need non slip tape or rubbers on the pedals.
You need a centre mirror.
Exposed wiring.
Is the battery bolted down? I have a battery cover for sale if it's any good to you.

wheres the rear fog light switch?

sorry i sohuld have said, nut covers is one thing ive got to get round to doing! its almost a days work to cover them all up! the rear fog switch is the button to the left of the horn button, the picture surround has fallen off so i will be replacing the switch. as for wiring, probibly a daft question but does all wiring have to be covered? as in even the slightest run of cable has to be covered in convolouted tubing?

pedals can be sorted out quite easily! i will add that to the list!

for the center mirror does any body know of a good IVA compliant mirror that can be dash mounted rather than stuck on the windscreen?

finally does the whole battery have to be covered by a box, or is it just the terminal connections that need to be covered up?

the battery tray is bolted to the chassis, i have cut slots in it to allow the battery to be strapped to the tray. but to be honest im thinking that wont be secure enough, so i am on the lookout for a decent battery box for a 063 battery! ( i wish i had gone for a red top battery now!)

thanks for the replies guys.

Brake lines look like they may foul the coilovers on lock?
