Thats a good question Glanzadude - I originally registered on the forums in 2004, but I had the car before that as by the time I had registered it already had springs, exhaust, wheels and a bucket seat. Maybe since 2003?? Or maybe even 2002 - I'd need to check the previous V5 from when it was registered to my dad as he bought it from a colleague before I owned it. Thanks chaps, looking forward to getting these few bits sorted, especially the suspension as it will be a significant step towards being MOT-fit. Think alot of the motivation is coming from the NorthStars camp at the mo - being involved in the local group discussions and going to meets in the daily just isnt cutting it any longer. Being on the road is still a while away as we're looking to move house this year, but it should be a good bit tidier and closer to an MOT this year. Big thanks as always to Joel and Jay for the continued guidance when considering parts and changes, keeping a buddy on track! Phil.
