Make sure you keep that second last picture as that is exactly the type of photo you should submit when you apply for IVA.

Thanks, but why that picture specifically? Is there a prerequisite for having a one year old girl in it pre IVA?

I presume he means to show its a home built car. Hardly likely to have a small baby stood up in one at a factory!

Small update.

Picked up some seats then moved the car out for a few days and got the floor painted, it was somewhat brighter than I thought it would be in fact it looks like I have murdered several Smurfs in there....

Going to start on the work bench next then hopefully get cracking with the build.

Never mind the car (which is looking great so far, albeit more of a children's climbing frame at the moment than a GT40 biglaugh), I'm incredibly envious of the garage! What I wouldn't give to have a workspace like that. I don't even have a house yet!

I'll be following this with interest. Please update regularly!

Out of interest, what engine are you planning on using?

Cheers for the support, I will keep it updated as I go but it may be a month or two before I can really get cracking as I have to decorate the hall, stairs and landing before I'm allowed to start frown. Still hope to get the block wall painted and the work bench built in that time too..

I plan to fit a relatively tame Ford small block 302ci V8 prob with a Holley carb on it making somewhere around 300-350bhp, I would love the quad Webers but budget won't stretch to them or the thing will never get built....

Well that's me suitably jealous, this is the one car I've always said that when time, space and money all become available I'll build myself one.

Looking forward to an epic build thread thumbup

Car will be Gulf colours (of course) and will be wide arched with a single deep vent. Hoping to get time to start in the next week, still not built the work bench though frown
Loving the idea of donations, all funds will be greatly appreciated wink

Bah. Not unless I get some too (although to be fair I have no PH build thread).
