The next task is to get the car registered and taxed. It's already insured on the chassis number (to allow us to drive it to the IVA). This will be transferred to the new registration when it comes through. I've got a V55/4 form from the DVLA for first registration of a new vehicle as apart from the engine, everything is new. You're allowed one major component to be refurbished.
I made a list of jobs to do and its surprisingly long. Longer in fact than any of the lists of things to do pre-IVA!
Just a sample of what's planned, from simple things to more involved jobs:
Lower ride height, reset toe/camber
Change oil, change oil temp sensor (leaks slightly)
Set timing to final value of 36deg all in at 3500 after a couple of hundred more miles run in
Open out holes in the body for the exhaust to give more clearance
Refit fog and reverse light below the body so it looks nicer
Fit more powerful fan for the heater blower and wire it up with slow and fast speed
Fit wind wings
Fit sun visors
Make new dash with better tacho position
Refit passenger seat so its more in-line with the vehicle
Refit doors so gaps are even
Paint (including preparing the bodywork
Set steering rack height properly to eliminate bump steer
Should keep us busy for a while!
