Congratulations and well done.

Matt,

You can have rivets every 25 mm your choice you will most probably cover the back during the IVA. It will not affect the IVA.

Mark

Can we not ask GBS to get the kit car IVA'd?

All the best in 2011.

Has to be one of the best looking exhaust I have seen on a kit - I want one. Can I dare ask how much ££££.

Mark

I use CAT mechanic gloves from Screwfix £16 does the job. Wife handbrake was stuck on last week and I used them with all the frost and snow, nose was frozen hands OK.

Mark

Matt,

Yes or even better use clamps to hold against the chassis and sides, measure to ensure everything is equal between left and right then start drilling. Use clekcos or skin pins first then rivets.

Regards

Mark

Matthew,

John's covered the main point "DO NOT be tempted to rivet the bottom of the side to the underside of the panel!!!" I didi and had to remove the rivets and re-drill not in the build manual!!!!

It easier than it looks get somebody to help.

Mark

Thank you.

Spencer,

My numble opinion;

1. As above weather is important unless you have a warehouse.

2. Plenty of notice, secure the dates early check whats on in the area don't clash with another show or if near a sports venue stay away.

3. Toilets sound simple but some local events have none, share or not enough.

4. Food reasonably priced - i approach a local truck stop burger a few years back in my area and they were glad for the business.

5. Advertise nataionally, local and surrounding counties, including caravan/camping sites, cadet forces, schools, local St Johns ambulance (first aid cover tick in the box)etc.

6. Goodies - car stickers or pens with car show name and year, free entry into prize draw (local firm sponsorship) or award best club/best car etc.

7. Cars - sounds daft but get some confirmed/garanteed attendees.

8. Well sign posted on the day.

9. Marshalls/guides - to help and provide assistance.

10. Joint venture - have it the same day as fairground, market, car booty etc in the next field one location two events more interest to a wider audience.

Quick attempt there are many more I'm sure. Let me know were and I'll try to get some work in the area.

Best of luck regards

Mark

Dan,

If it meets your needs then so what. When we were selecting a replacement car they were on the list but in the end we decided on the Fiat multipla. I bet I get the pi55ed taken out of me, but I have to say what a fantastic it meets our needs 6 seats (2 adults, 2 kids ours and 1 or 2 foster kids) and plenty of boot space for a twin buggy, nappy bag, rations, coats, tool box etc....

Now you know why I need a kit car with two seats!

Mark

Hopefully getting a set of bleck wheels and tyres from wife, brothers and sisters.

Fingers crossed.

Jess, I occasionally work in Oldbury once recovered from op would a appreciate a good look at your car.

Nigel,

Ouch that's gotta hurt, when I was undoing my flywheel bolts the breaker bar broke and my knuckles hit the garage floor at 120mph couldn't use the hand for weeks.

Hope you recover soon.

Mark

Nick,

Sounds great - wouldn't it be good if you could use a camera phone for the IVA?

Smart looking car.

Mark
