Default Spikehaus Roadster Ready for IVA!

After exactly 50 months of building to the day, I have the pleasure to announce that I have finally completed my Roadster! Yipiee

All I have left to do is few snagging items, apply for the IVA and purchase a new set of Tyres.

This may have to wait a few for another few months as I will also be getting married on the 10th September 2012.

I am hoping to take the car to the Exeter Kit Car Show next month if I can find a trailer, although I am unlikely to have sorted the IVA by then.

I would like like to say a big thank you to all the guys on this forum for all the support with my build. I have seen lots of builds start, finish and be sold during my my time on the forum, but know that I have made a lot new friends here.

Looking smart, Best of luck for the big day and the wedding too..


I would check the kill switch is going to pass the IVA radius test though as it may well not.

Cars looking really nice. Don't want to be a keyboard critic but that cut off switch on the dash will be a radius fail won't it ?
All the best with Iva.

well done spike dont worry about the time it has taken you cant rush perfection you know
i was just thinking i cant remember how long i have been building mine but it must have been a while as ash was giving me a hard time at donnington

im sure you could just put a shorting link and remove the key for iva if it a problem
