When I get to a pooter I'll put the pics on here as I'm in my phone at the mo. Looks amazing though. You drove past me on the way out. Next to the grey estate by the bumper car I am gave you a thumbs up. Looks so mean when it's moving with its low and wide stance

Cool i cant get pictures from my camera at the mo so any extra photos are very welcome:-)

So pleased that i got there, that was the aim when i started it, but at times i thought i wouldn't make it.
Our lass had to drive it round the time trial as i didn't have my licence!!! managed to get some good photos though
It drives and ran spot on, i love it!! Cant wait till all the bits are done.

So the number plate is a T reg? I thought it was going to be registered as the MX5?

Maybe took the plate from the estate and transferred it to the MX-5.

 

I know my dad did that with his pick up. You can do it once and they then give the car you've taken the plate from a new age related plate. Then you do what you like with the other plate (becomes a personalised plate).

Sounds about right :)

 

Although I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow registered it as a clubman just to stop the police keep pulling him over thinking it's a mini on cloned mx5 plates! digler what's the deal, how have you done it?

[scaffers]

Did you spray it in that garage

[Carlos W]

I'm amazed at how quickly you've managed to get this done!

 

That is all

[digler]

Spot on with that!!
Its down as a clubman, if i had it as the mx5 its still called a mazda but looks like a mini. How confusing would that be?
so thats how it is for now. But it might change if i can rename the mazda on the logbook.

Yeah sprayes in that garage, friday afternoon before the show!!!

all along i wanted to get to the retro show, means i can get bits sorted for mitp.

as you have kept the chassis , engine , running gear, suspension and steering from the mazda you will need to use the mazdas V5

 

best thing to do is contact the DVLA (your local office if you have one) and tell them you have swapped the body on a chassis vehicle

 

you won't need to worry about a BIVA test as you have still scored the 9 points they are looking for the body it's self carries no points

 

between you and the DVLA you will have to work out what to call the car so there is no confusion

 

 

friends that have done this on VW beetles sticking a buggy body on top normally get VW sports or VW convertible on the V5  , what it's best to call this i have no idea

 

taking the car for a MOT as it is could land you in trouble as soon as they stick it on a ramp they will clearly see it's no mini, with the log book not matching the car

Brilliant job, very well done to you! Love it!
