Made a trip down to Stockton yesterday and within 1/2 hr I came away with my chassis number .....just needed proof of id so on the way back I nipped into machine mart and got some letter stamps and the result is below ....obviously I am not showing the whole number for security reasons, but after a few practice attempts the actual one I did first time worked out well so this will be the final thing that I weld onto the chassis before painting.

At last....once I have welded the above plate on.... my chassis will be ready to paint....feels like a milestone in the build, must have gone over it about 4-5 times and always finding something else that should or needed to be done, so this is the last time you will see it in this colour.

Hi Dave ....I took along my sierra's log book which is in my name, but I think anything with your name and address on it like your drivers licence or a utility bill
I think the womans name was Julia or Jullietta she is the only one there that seems to know what to do.....at first I was told I had to build the car then present it.....but I TOLD THEM that this was incorrect and that other persons had been to this office and came away with a vin number so do not take no for an answer even if you have to wait.

I sent them a letter using the template on the forum and got one in 2 days from the Newcastle office. I didn't give any ID or vehicle details

I suppose some dvla centres are good and some bad
Still not painting yet as I discovered yet another job I had not done, mind you I am pleased I am finding them now rather than after painting, the job was a prop catcher ....kept it very simple with 25mm box...now I might get some paint on it tomoz
simple prop catcher
