I have got design approval from the LVVTA. My certifier has been and had a look at the chassis and is happy for me to proceed. To meet NZ standards I have had to upgrade the suspension material to schedule 80 x 7/8 tube (I think). All suspension parts have been TIG welded and non destructive...

Hi Ryan I have been impressed with the Tornado kit and also the support from Tornado. I have had to make a few changes to some parts to get design approval in NZ. That aside, the build is progressing really well. Gary

Thanks for all of the information, looks like I’m in for a bit of a bumpy journey. The local certifier has already said he is not interested in certifying the car because it has fibreglass panels. I will keep you posted.
