I'm close to submitting the car for the equivalent of the IVA test in Warsaw, Poland. Arrangements are being made with one of the local Locost/kit car builders there.

I've put together a gallery of most build progress photos I have, about 500 of them:

Also I've been keeping records of time I've spent on the build, here is a breakdown of how long each part took:

Nice one Albert (I 've been looking for a flying helmet and goggles like that )

I hope the test goes well.

Love the video, just got back from a chassis welding session, seeing one moving about under its own power is exciting!

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.
