Hi Trev, I have a single width garage and had a 4ft wide window half way down. I took the window out and with grinder cut down to the floor and fitted a pair of wickes 4ft french doors. Hey presto infinate "garage width". Means you can also open the car door and drive the car in and out...

I am going to use Car Covers - waterproof car covers - breathable car covers - indoor car covers - launch car covers they have the patterns for the cars & all you need to do is send them picture so they can make sure the mirror pockets are in the right place.

I support you all the way. I'm doing a low budget unfinished old KVA up. Sure it wont be a 100grand "replica" with 5 litre V8 (mines a 3.0 V6 by the way) but at the end of the day we are all faking it, its just to what level you believe you think you should be to the "real thing". In my eyes...

Here is a picture I took inside the ex-JCB GT40. I was lucky enough to get 5 flying laps around Brands Hatch in it. You can see the seat material.

Did anyone watch the gadget show this week?...they had a good one for those tyre pressure worriers amongst us...I know similar is fitted to modern cars but may be useful for one of you. FiveFWD - Tyresure Tyre Pressure Monitoring System review by The Gadget Show For the 40 owner who has...

Hi Mick, I could. I guess it would just mean getting in & out a few times & closing them after. Probably less effort thought than pushing it in. Thanks

I have a nice long garage but width is not so good. I have thought about when the car is finished and getting it in & out on my own. I have considered using: - Go-jacks and reversing the car to the door, jacking the front up & pushing it in (not great as Ill have to push on the body)...

Thanks for both of your replies. I have since also found Specialised Covers - car covers, bike covers, caravan covers as wel. Appreciate the info.

I would appreciate any recommendations for UK suppliers / makers of good quality indoor car covers. There is the obvious google search but would rather approach a company that someone has used. I need one for my Mk1 KVA. I don't want a general bag to go over it but something more "fitted"...

Hi All, I have what is believed to be a Tornado Loom and a tornado supplied wiper motor. The problem I have is that the connector on the loom was cut off and I cannot match the wires to the loom. If any of you have the Loom / connector configuration I would be most grateful. I attach a...

Thanks to you all. To be "safe" and sure I have got a car electrician coming over to wire it in. He is booked for the 28th of Feb. I think paying for his time for a day will be worth while & reassuring. After he has been I'll be getting the body down...and on. Its my goal to have it SVA'd...

Hi Guys, I know that this will seem quite basic to most of you but a sparky I am not so forgive me. With the KVA I picked up there was a "new looking" loom. Most of it is labelled so I can work that all out apart from the 2 areas that I wondered if anyone knew about. Area 1 At the front end...

Thanks All, Great feedback and has given me many ideas. Cheers Chris

I am sure that there is a obvious answer to this question but I wondered if anyone had any experiance on the best route for the Air con hoses from the front to the rear of the car?? I have the body off, tanks in & wondered if you try and run them over the top of the tanks in some form. Surely...

Thanks Mike, great information but now I am really confused...the tyres that are on the car will have to come off anyway as they will not pass the SVA test we have in the UK. (we have to have a "E" mark and these tyres don't have them. As time goes on I can see the wheels coming off and me...

The only picture I have is when I draped the body over temporarily before it was strapped to the roof of the garage whilst I work on the car. It does not give much away as to the suitability but time will tell I guess...

On the KVA I aquired in December there are a set of 345/35x15 tyres on the rear fixed to revolution wheels. Having researched what many other users have on their cars I feel a bit unusual and am now wondering about the rear section that I have and the usability of such wide tyres. I have...

Dear All, I am nearing the point of completing my dash apart from the demisting / AC system. I have found a "package" from a company called car builder solutions N F Auto Development & Car Builder Solutions Ltd. Kit Car, Kit Car Parts, Ferrari P4 replica specialists and wondered if anyone has...

Hi Andy, Just wanted to say thanks for the bits that arrived today as promised with the modified front light mounts for my Lucas lights. Great customer service Cheers Chris

Hi Simon, Thanks for the offer of the GTD rear end. The V6 will remain in & as I understand it the upgraded rear end was because the type A I have is not man enough for a V8. In years to come I may change it to the "real thing" & cut the back end off but this is way off as I want to finish...
