No progress on the body this week, but it’s back at home now after carting it around on Friday.
I decided to start with the licensing a bit earlier on this project that at least when it’s ready to drive, it is actually licenced. As I hired the trailer to take the bus home, I tried to sort out the licensing by taking it over to the police clearance, but alas, I got a load of grief and this was due to some new changes since 01 September regarding some micro-dot efforts that have to be sprayed onto the bus. It’s a new form of identifying the vehicle as well as mechanical components as it is applied all over the vehicle.
Anyway, after back and forth trips between the weigh bridge, traffic department and police clearance, I seem to have made some head way. I still have to get the weight certificate, so hopefully after that I can get all the documents together to send in to have the bus registered on the system.
It’s going to have to be registered as a build-up vehicle as it appears it was never on the system before. It still has South West Africa number plates, so pretty doubtful it was ever introduced.
Will however just have to wait and see what happens after sending the documents in.
Otherwise, just been busy on the mechanical side. The exhaust is now finally complete, I am real happy with how the tailpiece came out. Here’s it below.
