Huzzah! Got her running and took her out for a trundle. Only other thing that needed doing was freeing off the handbrake which dumbass here had left on for 5 months. DOH!

Some snaps taken today:







Doesn't look too shabby seeing as last time it saw a sponge or any kiind of cleaning product was probably september!

Cheers bud. Not really any MOT trouble, last year just needed a couple of brake pipes and a new Brake Master Cylinder. All done in a day. Not sure about this year. I know the exhaust needs patching (A new one is 500 quid so not going there!), the bumper cap needs refitting as it has a sharp edge and some wiper blades.

Thought I better update this thread as it's been a while. Not much to report really as it hasn't been moved or started since the pics above were taken, that's right I've not touched it since march!!!!!!

I've had this week off to sort it out for an MOT next week but due to the wife breaking her mini on tuesday I had to repair that first!

The list of jobs currently stands at:

* Sort  out battery, renew or recharge depending on whether it'll hold charge.
* pair of new wiper blades.
* Patch exhaust
* Replace clutch master cylinder (Done just needs bleeding)
* Replace bumper end caps (ordered and awaiting delivery)
* Last time I drove it (September 07!!!!!) I was told the brake lights were flickering so need to look into that.
* Dash warning lights don't work
* Handbrake seized on
* Discs badly corroded
* Clean out the inside as it's still full of Summer 07 junk and the old interior from the passat!

All the above needs doing for the MOT which is booked for wednesday next week. I also have ordered a vat of Satin Nato green and a some Satin Yellow. Once MOT's the new paint scheme will be the next job!
