Nice to see it on the forum now everythings nearly sorted Jasper :wink: Don't remember what tyre/wheel size you went for , although I can see they're large :roll:

235's on the back, 205 on the front. Front's are still giving me rubbing trouble - gonna have to trim down the edges some more......

Very nearly there, mind you I've been saying that for months now!!

looks really good, i like the wheels, i'm amazed you managed to get 235's under the back, I'm struggling with 225's either rubbing the arch or the trailing arm and thats with wider RT arches.

Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Here is a link to the IVA site and draft manual http://www.transportoffice.gov.uk/crt/v ... anuals.htm
which comes into effect from 29th April and will cost about £540. You need to apply for SVA before 28th February 2009

6 months and lots of £££££ to wide the back to take those wheels - glad it looks so 'stock' :)

Thanks for the feedback chaps - looking forward to SVA now....

I agree 8) If you set the chassis as low as mine is , you've no option but to make them round or they'll foul the tyres :roll: Changed mine 3 or so years ago , front & rear :wink: It was very much a ' Sylva ' design -- just look at JP's other full bodied cars , particularly at the front :roll:
