After first buying steel tube in 2000 and a welder I’ve booked it in

There’s a few bits to do - dash to finish - front mudgards to install - etc

See what happens


Any last min tips appreciated

No tips - oh other than plan to fail the first one. Then you have a list of issues that, once fixed, should guarantee a pass the second time around.

Otherwise just "Congratulations"

Congratulations! Your persistence will soon pay off. I'm also 20+ years into a project. It must be a great feeling reaching IVA.

WELL DONE, go for it...
if you post a couple of pictures we may be able to help you avoid some 'silly' fail points, things like fog light, seatbelt mounts (and seats) and the most silly failure - rear red reflectors.

Why are you rushing it..........(25 years in and counting)

Mudguards on order

It's all about the journey

I got a first time pass and one thing that helped me was to go through the IVA manual line by line and confirm your car fits the criteria, a friend refined it with - get one person to read through the manual aand two people to check - both were first time passes

Well done!!!

I'm hoping not to take as long with the build I started in January, but - you never know

one school of thought: It Does Not Have to be Perfect, just go for something that works for now. you can upgrade anything/ everything later

Welcome to the club

I think my advice is "make it the best you can and enjoy using it"

also, look at loads of completed builds and identify the ones that you "Like" and copy the asthetics


some folk fall into the "Chrome is good" stable and others less so.

build what you like and like what you build.
