elbekko Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've got a set of steel wheels if you want Mike, not sure what the load rating is on them, they're the ones that were with the tyres you stored for me. I should be able to fit 4 or 5 in the Merc We're popping over to the UK next monday and tuesday, not close to your though, need to be in the Peak District. But we could meet up along the M25.

miketomcat Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 The steering wheel is a cheap one that came with another car years ago. I've had to add padding to the centre for the IVA. As for the IVA it's self I've got to the point where I'm expecting it to fail. But at least then I'll have a list to work to.

True.... but What goes around, comes around and I'll probably be wanting some help come body build time  . I'd also like to see the Ibex in the flesh.

miketomcat Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hopefully I'm there for the IVA once it's been for the test maybe another matter though. I've stamped 110 sw weights as that suits my needs. Hand brake gaiter is now screwed down. I need to: Sort the glove box cover again as my temporary fix was a little to temporary. Sand the surface rust off the discs. Fit a check strap on the rear door. Swap wheels I've got a couple of leaks to sort at some point and one of these has ruined the load bay head lining but that can wait.

Snagger Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 You can sort the discs with a few applications of brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Not legally allowed to drive it till it's registered. Yeah it's great you can't test drive it till it's passed the IVA and registered. In fact my dad built a car that passed and was legal but when you drove it it was lethal (fixable).
