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.

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.

Hi Ross,
The screen is for a Suzuki Cappacino ( not sure about spelling  ). I scoured the internet for a second hand one and only managed to find 1 for sale, it was in Spain and they wanted £400 for it. I had previously contacted Pilkington glass regarding having a bespoke screen made ( big money ) but I knew they had a massive selection of bucks and patterns for other screens so I contacted them and they made me this screen in what ever colour I wanted for about £100  .Is your truck up and running and if so hows the performance of BMW lump ?
