haha phoned local car shop and explained my position he said "bring the email and your driving licence", a quick call to work asking for an extended lunch, granted followed by a quick trip to get the plates home and put them on and then off to work, very little work done as foreman is a bit of a petrolhead himself, so just back from a wee afternoon run

I have to say after reading some of the horror stories re dvla , and maybe its the time of year or just plain lucky, but credit where its due Both Donna Kennet and Amanda Price at kits and rebuilds have been very knolageable, friendly and efficient with regards to my application process.
It really felt good putting the plates on and driving her, now we just need to get rid of these silly wintry shower forecasts .... lol

Now the bad news....... just because she is ont road doesn't mean you get rid of me...... just instead of build posts it will be what we have been up to ....lol

I was looking back and it has taken just under 2 years, to now ( by a week)
Let there be sun and twisty roads ahead

One thing that has to be said is A GREAT BIG THANK YOU , to everyone on the forum for their help, encouragement and support through the build, it is a great hobby that really never ends and I am glad to be part of it and would recommend it to anyone
Gary

look forward to seeing some videos now of you tearing it up. I would like to see what it is like with that supercharger before I decide on what I'm going to do.

home fae work and sun is out a wee bit chilly so a quick shower and tea , and a nice blat to elgin (coffee shop is open late ) and then the scenic route home using the back roads. lots of admiring looks and questions at the coffee shop , so she is tucked up for the night now.
I have to say I love driving her Just need to campaign the local council to take some of the bumps out of these roads lol
sorry Matt forgot the camera tonight but if the weather holds I will post some up as I go
ordered a pair of stainless stone guards for the rear arches and need to underseal inside the rear arches to take the sting out of the stones pinging up.... who said it was finished ?????? lol
