Tues 7th next week will be the 7th working day

They best have it done by Fri Next week which is the 10th working day!:( 10 days is the maximum time it should take! "Up to 10 days." they keep saying.

edit: just realised it was my building 4th birthday 2 days ago. My first post was 31th March 2011. I thought it took me longer to build it.

I sent my paperwork special delivery and Royal Mail signed for it in Swansea not the dvla.

It's worth searching for the direct line that was posted on the forum as you get through to the person direct who does the registrations

Yeah they have it and I have the direct number but I think I'll ring them Wed. See if I can make sure it gets done within the 10 days so I can get out in it next weekend.

I chased mine every 2-3 days. Think they were fed up hearing from me :D
Took them 3 weeks from when they received it to me getting the paperwork to get the plates made.

The bank holidays will just slow them up unfortunately.

OK thanks for the info. I'll ring them Tuesday.

So I've been wiring again and I have managed to get everything that I needed on the column working on the new dash buttons. Took some doing mind and I popped a fair few fuses in the process.



Here is a video to demonstrate their operation/function.

I do have an issue with the fog staying on when the side light switch is off as I demonstrate but I just need to introduce a relay. As for all the current operations of the various buttons I haven't used any relays. The apem switch blocks i used are rated for 6 amps at 12v which was more than enough.

I have also made a few other changes too.;)

Spoke to Emma in kits and rebuilds today at 4pm, there was a query about the letter regarding the engine manufacture date. I sent it not really thinking as there was no need to prove the engine age to delve only to vosa. Anyway it had confused them and I told the to disregard it which they seemed happy to do. She said to call back tomorrow around the same time and gave me her desk number. Might be getting somewhere here me thinks! :D

Finished my stone guards. They look pretty good but the ABS plastic I used was too thick so I'll have to change them at some point unless the hot summer sun helps them mould better to the arches. But apart from the black nose badge white stripes, decals and a rear vinyl cover it's finished.

Amber warning light for overheating.



Drivers side stone guard.

Other side.....



:D

That is looking very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the white stripes on the bonnet.

When you add the stripes to the nose cone you need to make them part slightly at the front as the shape of the nose come makes them look like they are getting closer together
