Had the car up today. 2 post lift was in use all day fitting a fiesta ST with some weitech lowering springs so I put it on the 4 post.
Rubbed down a chucked some hammerite on the brake pipes, and had a look at the sills. Drivers side was done at last MOT but had been crushed a little by tyre fitters.
A wooden block and a big hammer soon sorted that though! and the passenger side which was an advisory at the last MOT, wasnt that bad actually. No real rot, so managed to bang it down as well. All treated and undersealed and ready to roll! Was expecting that to need welding too so was chuffed. Was good having it up for a good look around too. Found a small PAS fluid leak, which I think I've sorted by just nipping up the bolt from the pipe to the pump, and a bit of weeping from the sump gasket. This was a new one from VW when I changed the lump, so was just a couple of loose bolts. Nipped them up too so hopefully thats sorted too. Chuffed with everything being ready for MOT, until I got it lowered down, and remembered the handbrake bracket needs a couple of spot welds!
No real bother there though, so that will be sorted pretty soon too. Here are a few pics (although sh!te ones) of the garage. None of the car in the air though as I forgot, sorry!
Nice Lotus under the cover, and a vento being broken next to it.
Every tool imaginable, even if not the best quality. Easy to get hold of new ones though!
Also found a paint supplier that will make up some tins to match my colour, so will be popping down there tomorrow. Hopefully my bits I ordered from waxamomo will arrive tomorrow as well. Once paint is sorted, on to the full detail.
