I finally have my car on the road and have been able to go for a spin. :)

Drove reasonably okay but needs the steering and suspension setting up and a coat of paint to pretty it up as I rushed it in to catch the SVA cut-off date.

Passed SVA on 16th July and finally got it registered on 4th September, DVLA are a joke! They made a huge fuss about issuing me an age related plate (which they did eventually) even though I told them I didn't care what they gave me. Nearly two months of wasted insurance cover and some nice driving days lost.

Anyway, because it had been going on so long they let me go in and pick up the disc etc. They seem to have forgotten to charge me the first registration fee but I will bet it won't take them long to sort recovery of that out!

Looking forward to the fettling now. Nice set of wheels and tyres to start with, I think.

I'll post some up over the next few days. It's not that pretty at the moment, it needs some paint.

I suppose it looks good in a white, silver, black and yellow kind of way. :o
