Leading contender for the longest build?
Great to hear it's making progress again.

Thanks Chris, really looking forward to getting the car completed - it's been a long time coming...

Here are some pics after the body chassis was painted and wheels and suspension fitted.

What a fantastic and interesting history. Your dad is a solid guy to hold on to his dream for so long AND to hopefully see it through to completion :-) Looking forward to the updates and completion. There's plenty of IVA help on the forum.

Thanks Cadami, I'm sure the IVA info on here will prove to be invaluable

Cheers, Michael

Whilst the engine was with Guy Croft, we fitted the car with a spare engine with a view to transporting the car to Lance Pritchard at OJZ Engineering in Lincoln for custom exhaust fabrication.

Pic of the rear of the car in Lance's workshop, my Dad is on the left, Lance on the right. Very pleased with the finished article.

Great to see another Corse emerging.
After ten years or more close to and around the Corse 'project' I have to say I don't think anyone knew or knows how many actually got manufactured and/or built into cars.
Good luck with the final stages.

Hello Michael,

Welcome, nice to see the car getting completed after all these years. I had a rifle through your FB gallery & the build looks very thorough with some interesting modifications/additions.

If I can start the IVA list with a couple of points-

1) Radius end on tail pipe
2) Emissions, how do you intend to approach this? Do you have a V5 doc that tallies to the new engine?

Regards

[Cadami]

The general rule is build it to a minimum spec with no extras. Less to fail and do for the retest........

Thanks for your comments Craig. I will check on what is planned regarding the tailpipe. I have read elsewhere that the tailpipe should have a radius if it protrudes from the bodywork by more than 10mm, however the exhaust is underneath the rear body work, not protruding through it. I assume this will mean it needs a radius?

We have a V5 that tallies with the engine, the Beta HPE was scraped but this was never declared to the DVLA. From what I have read on the forum, this seems to be the right way to go so as to retain the V5.


Thanks, Michael
