Finished! Doubt it, the upgrades take over from the build now!

Well done though

Tell me about it! I'm still "fiddling" and thinking "that could be done better"
And I drove it to the bottom of the drive, and accidentally went to the top of the road and back, how did that happen

Ah! It's a steep drive coming back in M'lud, in mitigation, probably about 4 times (ish)

A little 'Heads up' on the cost of the IVA - £450 - it was probably £2, 3 shillings and fourpence when you started building your creation. Looks very nice, though!

Shame you are now just too old to drive it now

Thanks for that, IF I ever build another one I'll try not to do everything at least 3 times

Your not alone Mike, started mine November 1999. So that's a millennium ago! Still have quite a bit to do. I have been close so many times, but they either change the rules or I realise that my interpretation of the rules was not correct and have to keep modifying just to jump through the SVA/IVA hoop.
