Hi
Just thought I would introduce myself have just about finished putting together the basic flat pack chasis that I purchased from Talon Motor sports (many thanks to Phill for all his help). I originally bought a part buit Robin Hood 2b about 2 years ago and when in the final throws of finishing I found that the chasis was distorted and body panels would not fit no matter what I did.So after throwing my toys out the pram and not going to the garage for a few weeks in discust,a friend of mine with a locost suggested a Roadster as nearly all the parts would be transferable and here we are today still a long way to go but we will get there eventually. Atleast there are no parts to clean up thank god. Kev

Welcome to the mad house. With all those spares readily available it wont be long and you will be putting in for your Iva

Thanks Arf I,d like to think so but things like work and family keep getting in the way, some people just can,t prioritise there lives around my build I just don,t unsderstand LOL photos to follow. Kev

Get the photos' on mate, it keeps the natives happy

Hi I have tried to upload pics but keeps failing will try again tommorrow.Kev

Ah, the good ole tooby. I built one of those about 10 years ago. It has to be said that the kit was very cheap and utter sh*te. Clever concept but appalling execution. I don't know if you ever saw the build video? About an hour was devoted to showing how you could work around the SVA rules - not clever. I am sure a lot of what is in IVA is thanks to Richard Stewart and his bodges. None of the panels fitted properly and the early sliding pillar suspension was a complete joke. A Roadster is much better, a damn sight lighter too.
Best of luck with the build, I think you have made the right choice.
