Proof of amateur build status

[snapper]

Some problems are coming to light with peoples aplication for SVA.
Once you send of the first bit of paperwork you will quickly get a second form asking you for "Proof that you built it".
Some people have been rejected, mainly people that have bought "part built" kits but the requirement to Prove you built it is still very important.
Whilst i bought a part built with little documentation from the previous owner i still built up a very large file of reciepts and photos from the day i got the kit home.
My reciepts consist of reciepts from purchase, copies of original reciepts from previous owner, and piles of reciepts with my name and address on them, even single items such as brake bleed nipple.

With VOSA getting tough make your life a little easier with a good paper trail and photos of build milestones some with you in them.

That's good advice snapper, take loads of pictures and take them to the SVA too, the testers love that.

Cheers
