A guy I know up Aberdeen way who was running a trans-am last year, had just brought up this pick-up day before the Errol show, couple of shots here - largely unmolested, he was just deciding which way to go with it or leave as is

Took Monday off and got stuck in; refitted axleshafts, plumbed in fuel return line, sidelight and halogen headlight conversion (robbed loom from Mustang ), cured transmission leak, etc, etc.

Booked MoT for 17:20, by which time it was lashing with rain .  Took first, tentative drive to the MoT station, trying to look/smell/listen out for anything amiss.  Got to the MoT station and guess what - it wouldn't fit on their ramp

Oh well, at least I got a drive.  Re-booked at a place that does HGVs on Friday at 09:00...

I like it as is and if it ain't broke, don't fix it

B*mmer that Barney, but at least you got to drive it...

Yay - truck passed MoT on Tuesday morning !! 

Went straight to the DVLA office in Ipswich and, praise where praise is due, the chap couldn't have been more helpful - in and out in 10 minutes and, to my amazement, letter arrived Thursday morning complete with registration mark and tax disc ! 

No inspection required (thank fook) but they did retain the title and guess who forgot to take a copy... 

Number plates and a couple of other small jobs to do, then should be able to get out and about !
