Jeep cj7 83 right hand drive 4x4 5 sp british export - part II

**** RANT ON ****

So, for those of you that don't know, NH has a policy that says you need to register and get inspected all vehicles in the month of your birth.
It is August, my birthday is in August, so I get the letter in the mail yesterday that has all the vehicles on it, trailer, etc. and how much each is to re-register...

ALL BUT ONE...

Yup, this one.

So, I call, they say bring the old registration in (been registered for 2 years without issue) and they will figure it out.
I get to the town hall and they register the other vehicles and trailer and get to this one and there is an "invalid status code" attached.
They call Concord to check why and they say that it was reported as being sold.

So, they need to have a police "person" (PC-ness) come out, do a VIN check and then it can be registered.
In the mean time though, my vanity plate can be registered by anyone... awesome.

So, not satisified with the answer, I pay, go home and call the state and dig.
If someone bought it from me, I want to know.
I also dig up all my info, title, check the vins, etc. to make sure nothing was stolen, etc.

They say that someone tried to register it in "another state".
What state you ask... they can't tell me.
What person... they don't have that info.

So, this is really starting to bug me.
I am like, this sounds waaay to easy to just piss someone off, report they car as sold, stolen, or try to register it and it will end up on hold and invalid status.

Anyway, they say it is for my safety and if I have nothing to hide, then just do the VIN check.
So, whatever, I have to do it, but it seems like a very convenient way to get your buddy to free up a plate that you want, or get back at someone.

Or, I am just paranoid and maybe a previous owner that has said VIN number in their records tried to re-use it.
I was like... I get the VIN checkeed out and it is mine, it resides in NH, etc. and then what? Does the other person get arrested/fined/etc?
Oh, we don't handle that, we just send back that the VIN is legit in NH and they can't register down there.

sigh...

Had one of Bedford PD's finest stop by the house.
Very nice officer, checked the VIN, all systems go... EXCEPT...

They don't make a 1983 Jeep "Wrangler"

So, back to the drawing board as apparently crossing out Wrangler and replacing with CJ-7 is a no-no at the central office.

Had a second visit from Officer Christopher and all things looked good and back (3rd time) and it was the charm.

Got my new stickers and got to keep my vanity plate as it was in the window (08.31.15) I would have been out of luck.

So, all in all, I just need to finish this up, get a windshield back in it and get it inspected and I am good to go.
Still pushing for the JeepRally in Ellington, CT 09.19.15

Also, ripped the tailgate seal last night whilst attempting to put it on... didn't even seem like it was the right size for the Jeep... bottom was fine, the sides seemed inches short.
It was a new one too... well, new a few years back, perhaps just dried out, not sure... needed a new windshield gasket, so I just order both at the same time.

I went to put a new aftermarket chinese one on a CJ about 2 years ago and found it was so thick at the top I had to trim half of it off to make it work. Sigh.....
 
Functionality there is one thing wrong with this pic

I was going for the rear tailgate cable on the right hand side was on the outside and not the inside... repetative tasks have not been my forte this week... and then the fuel filler isn't hooked up yet... but you guys got some interested ones.

Rear seat brackets are my jscherb specials that allow for bolting a fixed rear seat into a tub that had a fold and tumble without having to drill holes and will be completely removable.

Not sure who won. I call it a draw. Long time to get it out unbroken
