Donor car going... have I missed anything???

I'll give this one a bit of a bash

When it comes to registering your build, you'll be in the hands of your local DVLA office.
For some it has been an easy ride, for others it has been a nightmare !!

If you have the donors V5 in your name you should be OK

I accidently left the vin number stamped in the floor on my first donors shell.

The scrapyard had agreed to take it in as scrap metal. Unfortunately for me, some jobsworth ran it through the DVLA computer & I was unable to get the V5 put into my name

Lucky that another cheap donor turned up & I now have a V5 in my name

So if I have the VIN plate (the one from the bonnet slam panel) and a V5 in my name I'm cool... I too didn't cut out the VIN from the body ( )

Or am I in the hands of the DVLA???

I'll stick my neck out & say you should be ok unless your local DVLA officials are a bunch of anal twats

Most of the information they require will be on the V5

The best advice I can offer is to make sure you keep good build records, recipts in order & gather as much information as you can.

They'll be less likely to mess you about if you can demonstrate that you have a good working knowledge of the registration process
