SHE PASSED :clap:clap:clap:clap
Well sort of, needed two brake pipes over the rear axle, the garage did them for me and hey presto, an MOT no advisories either, I'm well chuffed, she drives bloody lovely too :thumbs:thumbs:thumbs

Excellent news! :thumb2

 

[Banshee]

I never doubted him!!!!

wow, your MOT is quite a complete check! when do you have to take it?

in Italy you need to check your vehicle four years after production and then every two years. But they just check all lights and horns, brakes, tires and exhaust gas. in 10-15 minutes more or less you're done!

I need to move to Italy!!! No wonder you Italians look so good!!

No soon as we've passed ours we're worrying about the next one in 12 months and how much welding it might need :doh :lol

 

[lo_zarro]

Yeah, but you're going to find on our streets vehicles you don't want to have near you! vehicles you can't understand how they're still moving around, hoping they can still brake..

what's your MOT checklist?
one check per year is really hard!

On paper it looks like F*ck all, But officially takes about an hour. Basically it's either pass, advisory or fail on each part. I think any fail will fail the whole MOT, But you can have as many advisories as you like if I recall correctly.

Any Rot close (can't remember the distance) to anything structural or important like brakes is a fail. Can't have any sharp metal protruding and Don't think you can have holes in the sill. We put salt on the roads when there's possible Ice so it rots our vehicles.


EDIT: Since when can't we swear on here?

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Any rust etc. within 300mm of body mounts etc. :thumb2

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Righto, as promised albeit lane I've got some pics of most of the work I've done :thumb2

Some of the rear inner arches, the rest of the back/floor is solid.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

More of the rear.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

For rear seatbelts. I welded some washers in first.

Bit more in the back, behind fuel filler.

[terranosaurusdoug]

I had to get another fuel filler neck from Banshee, cheers bro :thumbs

[terranosaurusdoug]

I got a replacement arch piece for each side, I'm impressed with them, if anyone wants to know where I got them let me know.
