Guest Gregg Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow that is a lot. Not sure if I can afford that just yet but it is really worth doing if you keep the car for a long time. What have you done to the engine? Are you going for orange or black inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 i had the engine fully stripped down and rebuilt to standard spec to make it reliable lol. dunno about the interior yet, prob black, but will see when the time comes! door cards are now on, interior is done, just missing the inner sill covers if anyone has a spare set? front mudflaps are on, next is the tasty bonnet and smothed bumpers, hopefully pics later!

allblue Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Neath hill autos. MK MOT in Kiln Farm is good. I used them to MOT my Orange cab eariler this year. Only reason why I am not sending the blue one there is because I don't want to drive her too far, as she has been dormant for 4 years.

gingergman Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 yeah i dont blame ya lol, it will be tense when shes out on the road at long last! im a bit worried about driving mine again, mot is about 14 miles frrom where the car is now, i found mk mot to be good when i took my partners car there this year, hope there as good to mine as they were hers! anyways, good luck with it mate, hope she passes!!!!
