Dave - I remember you posting about the need to send photos, which tied in with what the DVLA told me to do.
I actually don't mind waiting for the V5C at this stage of the build, provided it gets changed at some point.
But I would have gone mad if I couldn't apply until the project was finished and then I was delayed waiting for paperwork.
It would be great to see a few photos of your build if you ever get the chance.

Gran Torino
Not sure if you have seen this film with Clint Eastwood in it.
But the main character had a garage full of tools that he had accumulated over a long working life.
When I first saw this film, it reminded me of the garage / man cave that my mum's friend, Michael, had.
Back when I was a teenager, with my first 125cc motorcycle, Michael always had anything I needed and was happy to help.
A few years back he retired and went to live in Ireland, yet he has always taken a keen interest in my build.
He & his wife are over in the UK at the moment staying with my mum and he is due to see the car for the first time today.
So I've left all the shiny parts on the scuttle for now.
And this morning I put the dash back on to give a better impression.
I must confess I really like how well the scuttle lip works with the "recessed" dash board.
I just need pick something suitable to "fill in" the gap above the dash.
It is funny how just seeing roughly how things will look can lift the spirits.
I know there is still a long way to go, but I do have hope.
Cheers, Paul.
