as for driving it - i think once its built everyone who's been involved with the build should have a go (if they want) - mabe we can take it to some private land nearby :idea:

I agree, having recently had to read a lot of the SVA rules n regs I can't see it needing anything other than an MOT and declared mods for the insurance

Speaking of insurance, assuming we can get it MOT'd close to the build site I can drive it to its temporary home on my trade insurance

i just thought it was a point worth making as i dont know the regs on things like this, didnt want anyone coming a cropper after all the work and getting a ticket or a prohibition on it because of some Vosa muppet

thats the plan at the moment - we can't take too much on

but if you want to come along and do the back lights you can :mrgreen:

I think those lights look cool.Some more modern rear lights only have one reversing light and I think they look a bit odd with only one. IMHO

I think it needs a rear wing spoiler on the roof
