I also forgot to mention, that the IVA now tests cars differently depending if it's home built or built by a garage. I can't recall exactly how it differs, but if a pro has built your car (or even had a hand in it) the standards are tougher. The IVA test requires you to submit documentary evidence of a home built car, to the extent that you will need to show photo's of you actually doing work on it! Camera timer at the ready...
Have a look in the kit car mags - they're full of IVA type info most months.
