Well done Andy it must be nice to get to the start of the road.

Or you could wait and get GT64*** number plate. At the rate I'm going it will be GT65***.

Andy, I am aware of the IVA service you offer, I see the vendor announcement, I may even take you up on it in a few years time, if you play your cards right :) . Myself and Brett had asked a couple of reasonable questions, I believe in the spirit of the forum, information exchange. I therefore...

Hey Scott, discussing (in its build log) how this baby got through IVA, is "on track",... unless you know something I don't. :shy: K

Thanks Andy S, my IVA is still way out of sight over the horizon, how much are the E-marked apertures? As Brett asked, if the crossfire mirrors don't pass, what do you do to get her through? Keith

Well done Ian! Be interested to know from Andy S if the polycarbonate on the headlight apertures is E marked and if so where to get it? Also do the crossfire mirrors natively (without having to raise them) pass the rear view requirements? Keith

Ian, I'm jealous,.... well now you have a very short list of things to do. What are the mirrors fitted, they look like extended (raised) crossfire ones, is this what Andy uses to pass the rear view requirements? I also notice you have 'polycarbonate' covers on the headlight apertures, are...

Jason, my antirolls are possibly the previous generation. BTW I could not see the pressure rating on the valve, I guess the pressure out of the Bosch is fairly low? K

Hi Jason the solenoid looks good, I may have to invest. Re. the front antiroll bars, just buy yourself 2 big grommets, say 50mm and cut a hole to match, you should be able to feed the bar through. I think my log has a couple of pix, if not I can send. If you need to know the hole positions...

Hi Jason, looks good, keep her lit. don't forget to swage the ends of those copper pipes before you lose access to the engine bay. What's your plans for the winter? K

As an electronics engineer, we use these daily on our power data loggers, the best way to connect a crimp is to make sure the end of the wire is tinned with solder, if you want to stop the wire coming out solder a small blob (nipple) to act as a plug on the end. Then crimp with crimpers (not...

Oh Brett, too late, holes cut, lamps set in, I just need to glass the rear. I did toy with the idea of placing them behind the grilles, but decided to put them where shown. It only took a morning,.... when cutting into the body I always dither! K

Hi Renato, thanks for the feedback, there is sooooo many things to do that some days I plan nothing and just go to the garage and do whatever takes my fancy! K

Wanted a few days of easy work, have been doing stuff like positioning the reversing and rear fog lights. The Gulf vents are simply taped in place to aid me to position the lights. Done some other minor things, will post pix when i get round to taking them,... see how lazy I've become lately. K

Bob, the paradox,.... you've got to make your own blue peter badge, please post your progress. Jeff, they are sold here www.earls.co.uk,...... thanks!

Jayson if you know anyone that can weld ally, you could consider getting them to weld a bead around the end of the pipes. I believe you can get a tool from B&Q for swaging copper pipes, basically you press dimples into the ends. I have a few ends to get done, for small ally pipes I send...

Jason, I'd fit the nostalgic unit and any associated lines down the centre of the car, fitting the compressor and back-end stuff later. FYI,.... I have removed the standard water pump and am fitting an electric one in the front bay with a bypass thermostat, so don't have the heater hoses down...

Bob, PM sent, K.

Hi guys, I'm heading in the right direction, I can just about hear the vroom, vroom in the distant future. Bill, i did indeed check the clearance, a spare pair of shoes, actually still in there, probably trapped. On the EPAS timer we have a final circuit under test, the final version does the...

Water pump bearing assembly was next on last night's hit list, grind-weld-grind.
