Vehicle documentation (and the hassles therein)

Kind of ironic that my first blog post on here is about paperwork. Well, maybe it isn’t - considering I probably should have taken care of this the same weekend I collected the jeeps. Anyway…. as deadlines loom (it’s less than 2 months away……AAAAAARGH!), it’s about time I got these jeeps legal. That means getting V5’s, road tax, MOTs… all that fun stuff. So, we’re starting with the V5’s. Who knew it could be so difficult to find a VIN plate? Suzuki (in their infinite wisdom) decided that every SJ owner would enjoy a game of hunt-the-vin-plate, and so errr… hid it. In random places. Then LIED about where it is in the workshop manual. Good work.

Anyway, VIN plates have been located on both jeeps (Greg from Team Wingnut is using my SJ413) and the V5 applications will go off tomorrow. After that we need to get both jeeps towed to Gregs place so that we can start fixing them up.
