MOT, result!

[DaveGT]

Just picked my '87 cabby up from the MOT station. It passed with flying colours, mot man said it was in amazing condition, Chassis shows no evidence of ever be welded didn't even get an advisory note.

Roll on the long hot summer or atleast few months of it before i may move to a new project

Congrats. Mines due this week, and ive been checking the obvious things like lights,handbrake etc. might fail on trailing arm bushes as they look a bit shot.

lets hope not.

[DaveGT]

Good luck!!!

Needs a little welding too.

Im going to do this bit tomorrow.

My silver crustmobile passed today with no advisories - The tester looked a little shocked

My cab passed 2 weeks ago with no advisories, after a knackered ball joint was replaced!
