New Build Iva

[M-1wcfh]

Hi All

Had a look and. I could only find old info on this .
I am considering / early planning a scratch build for IVA , I have searched and the prevailing advice is it’s madness . Has anyone done it with success ?

- this is how far I have got in planning
- space frame chassis , taking cues from atom and ultima
- minimal bodywork , think atom and GRP. And a gr40 style rear clamshell
- LS3 and 01e powertrain .
- doors and door surrounds cut off an e92 .
- suspension off wrecked c6 (where engine will come from )
- styling will be aviation related (former pilot )
- I am thinking about using a fighter jet canopy in part (anyone remember the Jaguar Topcat or ground fighter ?) but the IVA requirements seem quite strict on this .
- i think it’s probably 2000- 3000 hours work .
- my job allows big chunks of time but allowing 3-5 years
- £35 k budget - selling my TVR .
- I do have an engineering background

Any inputs ?

Cheers !
