Hi Greg, I’m almost up to speed on your build thread - started reading it on Wednesday, most impressive! Hopefully I might feel some of those things you’ve mentioned about IVA when the day finally comes and I reach that point lol

Wow that’s some spec!! I should imagine if someone were to come along who wanted that kind of spec along with that level of detail you could almost name your price... but you’re not going to sell it, right?? Far too nice to part with! To answer your question, for me personally, yes IVA is about gett...

Have you run any ducting from the Emory style vents, or are they more for looks? Difficult to put a price on a build like yours, even harder without knowing full spec of engine and running gear etc :) I think these things are so personal/bespoke the value in sale depends on the person buying/finding...

Cheers, I will take a look

Yeah Gary had a plug ready for a wing based filler cap, I believe. I was aware of the no filler cap in the front due to it being classed as a luggage area, but I was wondering about the engine compartment (purely for the IVA). I will have a search on here to find the other solution you mentioned, I’...

I wonder in theory if you could have the filler under the hood/engine compartment with a small 5L go kart tank mounted somewhere [emoji848] I appreciate this is a stupid and dangerous idea for real life, but this would purely be for the IVA test only. And if is not listed as a no no, then it might a...

I have a few questions!!

Are you running a narrower beam at the front?
Is it just on dropped spindles?
Are the Fuchs 14” or 15”? 4.5j on the front or 5j?

Did you buy it as a turn key?

Again, lovely example mate! [emoji41]

Also, I’ve been starting to think about the spec of this thing and also the joys of the IVA...

On that note, does anyone know if there is a minimum fuel tank size requirement for IVA? [emoji848]

So I was going to head up to Stoneleigh today and have a nose at some of the 356s, but in the end I decided I couldn’t be bothered with the drive... regretting it after seeing so many great photos on Facebook!. So I had a bit more time in the garage today instead. Now finished the frame head, fitted...

Great to have another build on here, really looking forward to progress and pictures. Any question sure we will all endeavour to help. Dont forget your copy of the IVA manual :) Do you have a final spec or goal you are aiming for? Classic, Recreation, Outlaw, 50's Race, Hotrod, Custom or ? Thanks G...

Welcome on board...its a fun journey, but best bit of advice i can give is to make a list of all the parts you need now and get searching for them, particularly the door frames and the rear pop outq windows, they are the most difficult / expensive to find, and they dont make good repros yet. I have...

Someone needs to make a decent repro of that area. The ones that have are available have such a bad rep for fit that it’s easier to spend infinite hours fixing what you have. I had to do the inner flanges and remake the lower beam mounts on the front face from scratch as well. Our posts crossed the...
