Recommissioning my '68 Charger

Post by **MattH** » Tue Oct 20, 15 10:23 am

Excellent news on the MOT, always a good milestone. Glad to see this car has found a good home and got back on the road. I hope to see it for real soon as it is in the same county as me.

Lewis, maybe you can get to Thunder Road Cars open day in Cheshunt on Sunday 25th? It would a nice run for the car, even if the tyres are a bit old, just go steady.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. Glad to have crossed that hurdle.

I'd love to but I'm in London that weekend. I do intend to take the Dodge out soon, though. A new set of Radial T/As has just arrived, too!

I must look into this, as I would quite like to put an age-related plate on it. Does anyone know what the current process is for obtaining an age-related plate? I've looked at the official websites but they don't seem to cover that exact topic, only applying for an age-related plate for a new import.

I would have but, at the time, I ran out of money, time and space!

I sold it to a friend, though, so it hasn't just disappeared into the void. It's still going strong!

Just ask me, I have got alot of club cars back onto age related plates. i need proof of the VIN and maybe fender tag then i write to DVLA telling them what the numbers mean and that it is a 68 not a 79. Easy peasy, ask Morgan. I've even managed to get some off Q plates for members.
Send me a PM and I can explain what you need to e-mail me.

Hi Lewis,

Love the look of your Charger, seems like you are rattling through the jobs quick enough. I've got a '69 and although I've thought of selling it I always change my mind and keep it. They kind of get under your skin.
Will keep following your posts

Well, a job change and a whole host of other things conspired to stop me writing about the Dodge... but it's finally time to start again. It's even legal, these days - but I'll be getting to that soon.

Excellent!

You realise the Mopar Nats at the end of July is now a "Must-do!"
