Chassis number matches m plates, m plate codes are all correct to actual bus.

Are the VIN plate numbers correct on the birth certificate and you have answered do they all match on the bus?

Notice I thought my reply was a little rude!
So changed it...
I thought the paint codes were somehow a variable and relied on the VW employee writing them down correctly..
They are working from microfiches of the paper records. .
Some details have been lost..
Water damaged etc or record un readable...

Right I'm back on it, after probably a month of not doing anything, decided to start cleaning and repairing my door locks. Maybe a little too much though!!

Got a email back from Roswitha at VW today regarding my birth certificate, basically put all wrong info on from another bus apart from chassis number, going to send me another one straight out

Tried putting some new clips onto the wheels with new tool Westy Mick gave me the other day, had to weld up a hole in the end to get a better finish on the rivet, but turned out pretty well

Hey Rick . This is the finish on the rivets you get if you don't weld the hole up . It's difficult to make a tool in a lathe without the hole as the centre is not actually spinning .

I did what you said, cut about 3/4 mm off those rivets and it gave me a really nice flat finish on the inside, with no grinding
