MOT time.

Hi, I'm still here, just been so busy at work not been able to pop by for a long time. So the old girl went in for her MOT. Failed on the windscreen washers, the number plate bulbs and two spots of rust where the floor pan meets the sills, same as last year but this time on the drivers side. Going in on Monday for the welding and the retest.

Interesting thing, as my car was made in 73 but is on an S plate having been imported back in from Jersey in 78, the MOT guy did an emissions test, and she passed!!! The S plate tricked them, he did realize he's mistake when he put the details in the computer and she came up as a 73 car. :eek:)

Must have been the early morning as they do know the car.........he recalled the welding he did last year when describing what needed doing this year....

But for a 37 year old car, bloody good going I think. :)
 
Good news Richard.
My TR6's mot is overdue,but the wet salty roads means it can stay tucked up and cozy for a little while longer.
Rovers is due in May,and I know there is some welding I have to do on the rear inner sill area,after my positioning of an axle stand went wrong!! :cry:
Probably a god send actually,as it was a bit weak there anyway! :wink:
I hope to have the 4 post ramp installed before then!
XXX fingers I am getting it next weekend!
That will make life,and welding a LOT easier and safer!! :wink:
No more hot spits going down my neck! :shock:
 
Yes, mine too, I think the hole that was fixed last year may have started from bad axel stand positioning by a previous owner as the passenger foot well always looked a bit dented. I guess the pressure allows water to get in the join with the sill. Anyway she's at the garage now being welded, only prob is that they have to remove the out sill to do a proper job, fingers crossed they don't fine a load of rust behind it, tense time. Lucky I got a nice little windfall before xmas, I can by in some repair panels if they find some bad rust. Kind of lucky it had not been spent, the money was ear marked for tarting up the kitchen but got delayed because of the snow and work commitments. Maybe that can wait if the old girl needs a load of welding.
