It may not have to go through the IVA? Perhaps it could be considered as a 'radically altered vehicle'?

Still a hassle though

Hi

Hmmmm that is pretty 'radically altered' if the donor is still known and was front drive car originally!

Not sure I would want to bet the farm on it as they say.....

Good point - you do need all of the original donor car details

Think i may have to have a cheeky little punt on this beauty (?

)....as it`s not far from me either...(about an hour)......sit nicely with the Hi-Fi project....

Unless someone can go see it for me..?
Is there a logbook do we know..?
What history do we know about these `kits`..?
Cheers.....

You have to wonder why the original deal didn't go through ....

Given how many on Ebay do not complete it is not that surprising I would have thought especially looking at the state of it. I would guess a lot is to do with realising 'what have I done?' comes into it.

Peter , what time are you going to see the car..? Have thought might drop along too , have a gander.....about an hour or so on the bike for me....

Hi

It is Nigel who said he was going, maybe try Messaging or emailing him?

Saveable..? 100%...the worst rot is an edge on the rear frame, really minimal...the rest is truly just a good wire-brush or at worst get it shot blasted.....then hammerite, job done.......spary wax-oyl in the tricky areas as the body-off option would be a mission in my mind.....all the wheels roll easily, the rubber hoses would need replacing as some have cracks and are weeping....a couple of areas on the glass fibre floors have started to perish but should be easily repaired .... the interior is very 80`s kit car, the seats are quite nice Recaro types...Re-strip the carpets and re-make them.. lots of potential.....The guy did say there was a number plate to go with the car too........likely a Q though.....he didn`t say.....
