Cleaning up the buggy for the summer

Cleaning up the buggy for the summer 
20th June 2018

The chrome work needed some work on the buggy as did the exhaust. The bright work was easy to clean up with the exception of the chrome plated lights. The exhaust paint which is a new VHT paint was hand painted onto the exhaust and has created a fabulous result. I will need to purchase some new spotlights and am hopeful that this time stainless ones will arrive not chrome plated.

UK MOT  (Historic ) and Tax
23th July 2018.

On the 20.5.2018 Historic status was given to historical verticals who already had historical tax . The main reason for this was the substantial requirements of the new MOT which was coming in the sane date. The procedure on the DVLA site is very easy and it requires the same  information from your red logbook. If you do not have a red logbook then you must contact DVLA for an update as the old green Registrations forms will not work online. Once you key in your number the process is then free and your tax will be generated. The system will not record MOT currently which is a shame as the reminder was still useful. Furthermore this free position is not a reason to not maintain your vehicle which still has to be road worthy. Please look after your old tax discs there is now collectors of them collecting them.

The RTX starter fired up much as expected it is a fabulous piece of kit . The old days of the starter draining the battery are long gone and the engine cranked up easily and fired up.  The next problem was going to be to extricate the buggy from the storage area . This would present it own set of problems:)
