Welcome aboard mate,
There are a fair few of us here in Blighty now, we should think about sorting a meet like the chaps across the pond do! I envy you the workshop at home!

Hi Guys,
Here are the pictures I was going to attach last night. IMG_1321.jpg IMG_1330.jpg IMG_1331.jpg This is the shop when it was first built. It's not as tidy anymore, in fact it resembles a war zone at the moment, but a big spring clean is on the cards. 05-09-2009 08;26;11PM.jpg 05-09-2009 08;55;42PM.jpg 05-09-2009 10;07;45PM.jpg These are the concept drawings that I am building the car to. IMG_5629.jpg IMG_5632.jpg IMG_9358a.jpg IMG_9359a.jpg IMG_9441.jpg IMG_9442.jpg IMG_9446.jpg This is where the mock up was at last year with the old windscreen. The chassis is going to get redone as I have now got an independant rear end for the car and the front end had some issues which involve a bit of a rework. IMG_3801.jpg IMG_3817.jpg Here it is with the new screen roughed in. IMG_3940.jpg IMG_3941.jpg IMG_3943.jpg IMG_3944.jpg IMG_3957.jpg IMG_3958.jpg IMG_3959.jpg IMG_3960.jpg IMG_3961.jpg IMG_3956.jpg And here are some new tools that I have just made. I know these pictures should have been spread across a couple of different forums but I thought they ought to go with the text I posted last night. I shall endevour to stay on topic in the future and post things under the correct headings.

Hi Neil welcome to allmetalshaping. Your workshop looks to be as big as mine and I am trying to make a living out of mine! (I currently have three cars in as well as my two wheeling machines pullmax two folders a guillotine several fly-presses Jennys, shrinker 8X4 bench etc. needless to say its cramped!) You are in the minority in the UK owning that much space!. (nice to see! I would love to be in that position) Looks like you have got quite a way on the car I hope you will be able to register it when you are done. The laws are getting tighter by the day.
David

Hi David,
The photos make the shop look bigger than it is ( although it is a good size ), and believe me if I new how the cost of building it would spiral out of control once the building regs people got involved it would have been the size of a garden shed !!! The photos of the car flatter to decieve. As I said this is very much just a mock up. Everything that I have done so far will most probably end up in the skip. I am presently redesigning the chassis and suspension on my PC. I am desperate to get this thing built as it seems every month a new regulation or test is required to register the thing. I am sure I will get it on the road one way or another, I just hope I don't have to make too many design changes in order to pass the regs.

WOW

IVA ? Thats a new one to me. I know about SVA and BIFA. If you modify Land Rovers can you not just keep the original registraion or do you build them up from bits. A friend of mine does off road competitions in Landies and they chop em up pretty good and do tray backs and all sorts and I'm pretty sure they don't have too much trouble with registration.
