Thanks again for all your replies and helpful info, the story is a bit convoluted but what i've said is true, i wasn't aware that you could get age related plates, i have, given some one some details, there going to look into it for me but its not 17 digits,
so i will wait, i certainly will approach the owners clubs, I'm trying to get as much info as possible first, I am going ahead with the build anyway.
l've been going through stuff that I'stored for away for some time, if found a receipt from yukspead,
I phoned him and asked him did he remember selling me bits 9 years ago, he laughed and said ' If it where yesterday may be.
Once i get the shell in primer, I will post some pics, as the co owner did say if i did needed some help, he's a good painter so. over the weekend I'm to get organised and also doing some parts sorting, so for all the IFFY'S i might post a pic or 2 of what ever i find.
Thanks once again, i will update if i get a result.
Regards
J
