A sorta update..............Been making a few small brackets etc ,and running some wires thro the frame.Been held up a lot by the weather and busy at work(overtime) .Well I got to pay for it all somehow!  Cant see it being ready for this season TBH ! Got too many odds and ends to finish before final strip down and rebuild!I want to make sure I've welded all the little brackets and drilled all the holes I need BEFORE I paint it,so that I can assemble it like a kit! I guess mudguards are next......... |

Work out how much your project will cost to build & how long it'll take
-then double the time & triple the cost & you won't be far off!

Still beavering away at the niggly bits and pieces,doesnt look as if Ive done bugger all really,so not exactly good for morale!.No different situation than building a car ,but cos parts are more exposed I'm tending to get them done right and looking good at this stage ,and not 'just get it working' and do it once roadworthy,cos I have a feeling that once this thing is roadworthy I wont be able to put it down!! I know I will have missed a few bits.Made my final list this morning. Got vin inspection tamara .Last major job is still the fr/rear mudguards /lighting attachments/luggage rack attachments. |

Just got back... No probs,nice bloke actually ,not the usual jobsworth! Took all details/ photographs,including the engine number. Apparently the VIN number must be stamped on ,preferably the headstock OR if you want a nice shiny plate with it on ,thats ok,as long as the number is stamped on the chassis elsewhere.Gave him all my receipts,which they will look at and return in the next few days with my vin number.So-o-o-o-o-o..thats stage one over with for now! BTW ...from the vibes I got from him ,the receipts are a required thing.( But p'raps only at Chelmsford!)

anuver fing........I asked the vin man whether it was correct that I wouldnt need a MOT for 3 yrs ,once I am registered.(Q plate) He said it all depends how the paperwork is processed for it .Hmmm,I wonder what thats all about then?
T bone... Not looking at it being on the road until poss winter 2010 or spring 2011 unfortunately,due to lack of cash(ie some expensive hols to pay for this year!)

Here we go again...So I went out and bought some steel trailer guards. The radius will be perfect for what i have in mind,but they are 3" too narrow.Chopped one down the centre and offered up. Undecided how to let a piece in the centre to avoid welding warpage,so reluctant to cut the other one up for the other side yet. Think I'll cut 2 up wider than the centre line so that there is only one weld join down the centre for each guard.Now held up until I get a chance to go get another couple of the same guards...bugger.  |
