oh my god
i got an essay back from the mot station today for a failer sheet.

rust this rust that.
i knew i had a crack on the point near the front strut but after the nurburgring attack its now not just a crack its the grand cannion its gone eveywhere its like the wheel arch is coming off and the top mount is comming off the bulkhead .

the jacking points are story them selfs!

rear axel bushes , wind screen , and indicator stalk are among others too!


i love that car but . not sur wat to do!?

id take pictures but . theres not much car left to photo!

If you love the car I think you spend the money getting it fixed, you'll regret it otherwise!

Although I'm not sure of the cost of getting all that sorted out :roll:
