Bill,Peter and Kevin,
Thanks,it was such a relief to get it past Queensland Transport.
Since QT originally said I had to start the registration process before Jan 2008,and now have renegged,we had to accelerate the build beyond my projected budget so I now plan on parking it for six months so as to restock my bank account before getting it painted and upholstered.
Kevin,two years ago when I bought the plates I thought they would help finish off the car nicely but since fitting them I have had to explain to people who are not GT40 wise that 69 has nothing to do with anything sexual (thinking mid life crisis I suspect) but it is a wide bodied Mk1 as per the Gulf cars of the 1969 season.
