Hey Jock.. it's been quite a while since I checked in your garage. What a great job you've done. Is it legal to run VA USA tags there?
Thanks for the kind words Ned, and no, the Va. tags were gifted to me by my friend when I was over in the USA.
I just stuck them on for the looks......
I've still to register my truck here and hope to get an age related plate,but because i've swayed away from totally stock I might get what's called a 'Q' plate which tells all the world i've got a truck with uncertain parentage!
That's usually the domain of kit cars and one offs.
It's based on a points system,if you change out motor,trans,rear end etc,you get the picture.
If i can say/prove the mods were done
before 1998 i'll get the age related plate.
(Might need to get 'creative' there!)
Pre-63 plates were usually 3 digit/3 letters,after that we went to an alphabet based system whereas 1963 was suffixed as an 'A' ,a '64 was a 'B' and so on...
It's strange though....you make your truck safer to drive on today's busy,overcrowded roads with dual circuit 4 wheel disc brakes,modern R&P steering,better emissions ,and you get penalised for it!
There's a stigma that comes with 'Q' plates.
