SVA at Nottingham Today (Now with Pics)
Avoneer - 6/8/07 at 08:23 PM

I'lll make this quick as I've drunk far too much beer:

Passed SVA 1st time today at Nottingham

Couldn't have done it without the help of Mac#1 who have been brill and spent a day with me.

Only needed a bit of foam here and there and nothing major to correct while Mr SVA has his tea break.

Roll on DVLA inspection.

Well done, Pat.
You must've put a spurt on in the last few weeks!! (I thought you were roughly at the same stage of build as me. Looks like I'll have to get my skates on!)

No need to joke - it was and I owe a lot to this forum and their decisions, even Rorty and Syd back in the old days when I was making the front bones!

Top Dollar Pat - you must be feeling very pleased with yourself

What post SVA mods ahve you got planned now then?


Avoneer - 7/8/07 at 11:05 AM

Car was very SVA friendly to start with so hardly had to put any trim on anywhere and one of the only mods is gonna be my Racetech mirrors (cage mounted).

Roll on DVLA inspection.

NS Dev - 7/8/07 at 12:22 PM

Peteff - 7/8/07 at 01:05 PM

Trev D - 7/8/07 at 09:22 PM

Well done Pat. ATB Trev.


Avoneer - 8/8/07 at 11:12 AM

Cheers all.

DVLA Leeds - been trying to get them to come out since March.

Last Friday it was still a 4 week waiting list for a home inspection - they are shi*e.

inspector rang me on Monday to say he can come on Thursday, but then he's not back in the office until the following week and doesn't want to post the paperwork.

Do you think he'll let me take it all off him and take it to the DVLA by myself on Friday morning?

Thanks,

Pat...

Nice, off there goes another one!

Why did you place that handbrake lever that way? For Track reason?


Avoneer - 9/8/07 at 10:04 PM

So it didn't interfere with my elbow and I think it looks good.

Pat...


Omni - 10/8/07 at 09:03 AM

Well done pat, you must be over the moon!

Can I ask how much you paid to have your wheels done in black?

Also looks like it is time to update your avatar with the finished product

ok!
And what about the steering-wheel position


Avoneer - 10/8/07 at 08:17 PM

I got the wheels and tyres off ebay for £50!!!!!

Guy didn't put a reserve on them.

He'd just had them blasted and painted.

Wait till I get my A048's on them next week!
