Sorry guys, this has really been too long but now is time for an update. I lost the will to pursue the car over winter, there is not much room in my garage so I started again with the weather improving. LOTS of jobs have been done with loads of problems solved but the car is now finally built and today I sent off my IVA application together with cheque for £450!
I have hundreds of photos to update my blog and will update it - eventually- so apologies for not doing. This blog has been brilliant though, I have a problem, search for a solution, and there it is! If its not there it always has been on the Locost blog which is why I haven't done very many posts. Promise to keep you all updated over IVA though :-)

This morning at Norwich at first attempt - IVA PASSED!
Dennis the tester was excellent, he pointed out a couple of things that I was able to quickly rectify, a little bit of edge trim, a brake pipe rubbing on full lock and a tether for my filler cap. Hadn't been able to check the speedo but that was 2 mph high throughout the range, emissions well inside the limit, brakes test ok and only 94db on noise. Now for battle with the DVLA and get it on the road for - er - November?

Congrats Ian well done

On another note, the ecu plugs for the mk1 incorrectly sent to you, have you still got them? I need a set and am struggling
