Finally - passed inspection - licensed and on the road

Pretty exciting day.

Finally, after the second inspection, the 50 passed and is now licensed and on the road.

Purchased it and got it home about three and a half months ago and since then there has been large amounts of blood, sweat and.................money go into the ol girl to bet it clean and tidy and ready to pass registration inspection. But, it's all worth it now.

Thank you to those who have given me the advice and encouragement I have needed when things got a bit tough and beyond my knowledge. I really appreciate your help.

Of course the build will go on in the usual never ending way (that's part of the fun).

Time to get some miles up!

it's hard to comprehend the work you did to pass inspection,

Re: Finally - passed inspection - licensed and on the road

Thanks mate. There have been some very interested people since I've had the truck from thumbs up when I have driven to and from the registration inspection to some Irish tourists leaning over my fence yesterday to take photos.

All good fun.
