Hi All
Today my car started up for th first time. I have spend almost a year building the car. It is not yet road legal here in Denmark, as we have some wery harsh regulations. Over the winter I will try to post some pic. and add some film to youtube. I believe I have spend almost 4000£ on my build, this is VERY cheap as cars and parts in gennerel are expensive. I think the have used a total of 500 hours on the project.

Regards
Thomas

PS. does anybody know if there is any other Danish builds?

I will try to shoot some pic. later today :-)
I did breake a Sierra 1,6 CVH. Type 9 gearbox. Standard diff,shaft drum etc.
I did choose this engine for a specifik reason. As I wrote we do have some stupid regulations ragarding cars here in Denmark. My plan in to have it registrated as a Triumph Spitfire, year 72. This makes it a bit easier but if the tax guys does not aprove this version, i do not think tah he will :-(, then I have to have the car tested in a lab, this is very pricy, 6000/8000£. I I get this approval i have to pay tax of the car wich could be in the range of 20000£. it is not easy here in Denmark :-(
Ther is also an other drastic way, I could move to UK and have the car reg. for 2 years, move back an declair the car as imported. then i could save the test. Not an option for me.

Thomas
