Didn't do a lot of work on the car in April, spent most of the time finding any excuse to go for a drive J. I did replace the mirrors tho' [ photo ]. The most important thing since the SVA has to be my first Kit Car show as a Kit Car driver.  Stoneleigh 2007!  It was great going there in the car, nearly 250 mile round trip and she handled brilliantly!  Now over the 1000 mile barrier.  (Time for a service I think).  But here she is as one of the many cars on the RHOCaR stand [ photo ].  Newark Next J

1st March went to Leeds DVLA to get her registered, only to be told that they would post it out that night! It didn't arrive on the 2nd; it arrived on the 3rd.  So straight down to the local supplier and got the new 07 plates made up.  Fitted to the car along with the TAX disc and she is at last a fully road legal car [ photo ] J

Not all the mod's I wanted to do have been done, but I can take my time over them, from the list below I have left to do: Sun Visors, Tonneau Cover and Column Switches.

The sun visors need some friction hinges that seem to be ridiculously expensive, so I'll wait 'til the next show to buy them.  The column switches will need new circuit boards making so that'll be a while as I figure that out.  BUT the tonneau cover is done [ photo ] J

So, what did the SVA mean? After 19 months of work, blood and tears; finally the euphoria of knowing I had done it! So did I sit back and savour the moment?  Did get I her registered straight away and spend all me free time burning rubber?  Did I spend more time with the family quietly watching TV? Did I bugger! J

  Registration can wait 'til the 1st march - I want a brand new number for my brand new car.

So 2 and a bit weeks to wait and its onto the modifications.  These are primarily:

Replacement Seats (been waiting a year to put these in) [ photo ]

Move indicators under headlights [ photo ]

Remove any none-essential SVA proofing

Tonneau Cover

  Replacement column switches

Elephant Ears [ photo ]

Sun Visors
