Re: hello

Hi Malc,
Welcome to the forum. There are lots of KVA owners around. As to the build manual ........ Ken Vincent Atwell of KVA said that if you need a manual you shoulldn't be building one! The very early chassis (ie Cortina front axle and home made style rear trailing arms) is not the best base to start from as it is not good and will seriously limit the worth of the car when finished. The later C type chassis or a GTD chassis is a more viable project to put your money and time into. A good new chassis from one of the many excellent suppliers is very reasonable and your finished car will be worth very good money. The KVA bodies are good and with a good chassis will make a really good car. Where are you based? Find out where and when your nearest group of the GT40 Enthusiasts club and go along as they will be a major source of info contacts and advice. We are up in the north and have some local KVA experience.
Cheers
Mike
