hi all
great news, my v5c (registration document) arrived today for the valiant. i'm well chuffed and can't wait to drive it now. i ordered some number plates but can't wait so made some temporary ones for now. i had a bit of ally sheet left from my anglia gasser build so thought that'll do. it's old so the backing won't peel of so had to be scraped off. a bit of sanding and a quick scotchbrite saw the area i needed looking much better. then an offcut of carbon vinyl wrap from work was applied, then some masking tape so i could draw the numbers/letters on. i only measured the widths and height, the rest was freehand as was the cutting out with a one sided razor blade. they look ok in a wonky sort of way but are just fine 'til the new ones arrive. best of all they were free
i just need to cut them out tomorrow (bit late now for the grinder) and fit them so i can drive it this weekend. woohoo!!!!
