The legal side of kit cars had worried me at the begining of our project as i was unsure how to go about registering the finished car.I should`nt have worried though as it is very easy.First you should telephone your local registration office,in our case in chelmsford,and ask for a kit car registration pack.Next get your car an m.o.t and fill in the papers you recieved from the registration office inclosing the reciepts,m.o.t certificate (or copies of them)and the price of a tax disc.You will then have a visit from an inspector of motor vehicles,and if your car matches the details on the forms you filled in,he will issue you with a reg. number and tax disc.And thats it.
The whole build took two years altogether,you can certainly shorten that down to a few weeks if necessary by having all components ready to hand,but this means forking a lot of money over at the start of the project and we did`nt have any!also before getting our car sprayed we used it for a little over a year to make sure evrything was ok,it would have been a nightmare if ,after having it sprayed we found the bonnet rubbing through the paint.
