I have just started completing a part built car I purchased. I note people keep pictorial diaries, is this just for personal reasons and sharing build ideas or is it actually required to stay with the cars records as I have no history with the car. Thanks

It's not essential, but photos are always handy when you are trying to chase down a fault a few years after the build!

Its a good idea to keep all reciepts and photo evidence to demonstrate to Mr IVA that it is an amature build thereby not falling into the more stringent test for mass produced cars - dont know if this affects you.

That aside people here like to see your progress too and its good to share information.

A build diary is not a requirement by any stretch of the imagination but it's always nice to have to look through, I'm sure future buyers will enjoy a look through as would us lot on here, so start yourself a thread on here so we can have a butchers
