Fit a cheap 1.2 8v punto engine (only in Band B), 16% VRT and and road Tax of €156/year for registration.
From revenue.ie
"From a Vehicle Registration Tax point of view, the Certificate of Conformity states that the vehicle at the date of manufacture has a specific level of CO2 emissions. This is the level that will be used for taxation purposes and will not change regardless of post-production modifications that might be made, modifications that might either increase or decrease the levels of emissions of the vehicle"
so drop in whatever you like after that!
If by any chance you can benefit from scrappage, this will wipe €1500 of the vrt bill, which means only a few quid to register it full stop and no nct for 4 years!
best of luck,
Steve

Hi Steve thanks for the info.On checking with vro and ikcc vro would want to give me a 2010 reg because its a new chassis which they would probably put a value of approx 10,000 euro and beacause the engine is 30 years old and no emmisions figures you are put in to the higest emmisions bracket of 36% which means 3600 vrt.That done you go to tax it and because you are in the high emmisions band road tax comes to just over 2100 euro.It just happens that I have the tax book of the doner car in my name and it will be 30 years old in june,I will tax it in june as a classic 50 euro and will insure it as a kit car through the ikcc insrance scheme for 800 euro.So roll on june.In the meantime I hope to keep building my haynes roadster and pick up a good few bits in Stoneligh in may as I am going over for the weekend again with my tin top so I can bring back some bits,cant bring much on ryanair.
