WOW... lovely looking car Rich.
How big was the grin on your face when she passed
How long did it take to build her from start to finish roughly and what was the worst job? (just wanna know if I got to face that bit yet )

Seriously well done, she's a credit to you (lucky bugger).

Only hope the weather brightens up for you to enjoy her...

Johno

Yep the examiner picked up on the fog light, luckily he let me pack it out with some trim, it's just the fog light that needs to sit vertical
Also he picked up on my instruments, as they are fixed to the steering column behind the wheel I thought it would be exempt from the sphere test, however as the car doesn't have a windscreen he picked up on the exposed wiring connector behind the instruments and had to cover it.
As these were the only faults and minor he was happy to let me sort them on the day

The worst part of the build was fitting the rear and side panels, cutting into brand new bodywork is not fun! Managed to get them to fit somewhere near but I could have done better with a bit of practice

Still a long list to do on the car, need to get the suspension set up somewhere near and have got hold of some 3M carbon fibre vinal wrap to do the dash and tunnell

Smile Congratulations on your IVA pass Rich

Well done Rich

Your build is looking very smart, I bet you were well happy with how the day went.

Taking a load of tools & spare bits of trim is a great bit of advice.

Here's hoping that you soon get the DVLA registration sorted & you can really enjoy driving the Roadster.
