So this is what it needs for MOT

[Dobbin33]

You didn't go to kwik fit did you? took mine in today, rear wheel bearings, rear shocks leaking, both sills need welding, rear brake pipes need replacing, head light alignment out, wipers need changing, exhaust mounting not supporting. rung a mate who normally does my MOT's, laughed his socks off, "never went to kwik fit did you, 1001 things wrong was there, let me guess, brakes, suspension, wipers and on older cars rust?? Got a retest somewhere else in the morning!!!!

Forgot to mention, replaced rear shocks week before last, new disks, calipers pads all round and rear wheels bearings 6 months ago, all brake pipes replaced 18 months ago and wipers!!! Figure that out?

I got this car as a project, I do everything my self!  engine is spot on!

I have been looking for ages and to get one with tax and mot etc.. was £700+ but they were awfull condition to be honnest,  so i would drive it then end up scrapping it once mot is out as i wont have the time/money to do it, At least now i know what i need and there is no rush for the car to be done plus i have the money to do it now.

Oh, by the way the MOT was done where i work (honda dealership) by a fellow technician so he told me exactly what it was and was fair about it.  Nothing dodgy
