Just got to get together the readies for IVA, it seems that every time I get enough together, another bill needs paying

Hope all goes well at IVA.

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

Big question is.....................

How many times did you stall it?

cough cough. bought the house in 2000 and the first parts a little later. I'm still at it when I get chance between looking after the rug rat and work :-)

Looks great!

Quick IVA and registration and you could be road legal with some summer left!

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

maccmike - 26/7/12 at 07:59 PM

just had a nosey at your archive. stunning build!!

Cheek of it! It was £3 and 4 shillings if you must know Although I am to young to remember that old persons currency, perhaps you could enlighten me

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.

Due to the nice weather I try to give it a spin every day.
It is better then the build i must say..
