MOT passed, car cleaned, back on the road again...

...and why not show it off. Just got to touch up that small stone chip.

Very nice, mines got its MOT soon after 13 years off the road in a garage. Everything looks OK but I'm still worried after all the work I've put into it to get it running again.

That's not to say it didn't need a little work:

1 Balljoint, so I had both control arms changed.

Handbrake was operating at 13%.

1 Windscreen Washer valve.


Not bad at all. Had the work done at my local in Morden which is a Rolls Royce and Bentley specialist - it looked great sat in such resplendent company.

Mine needed a new fuel tank, exhaust welding up, all the brake calipers overhauling, new fuel filter, fuel pump cleaning out, new oil and filter, injectors cleaning, new tyres all round and a couple of other things I can't remember. The hardest things were the fuel tank replacement and changing the oil filter would you believe, it was done up so tight that even putting a screwdriver through it and using that as a lever took all my effort and my Grandad twisting the filter with his hands.

And we thought after 13 years dry storage and only 63k on the clock it wouldn't need much!

Looking nice Pauly.

I do have a thing about white cars on good bottletops!
