I had a vision 19 years ago when I bought and it’s nearly ready to come true!
Just didnt realise it would take so long! ?

Ok so that didn't go to plan...
SAL was meant to get MOT'd yesterday until we realised that theres no chassis plates as I took them off when the body got painted and now cannot find them..
Had to order some new ones which means it wont go for MOT till next week now...
Good Luck for next week then

Perhaps not all the way to Exeter on the shake-down run SAL!

Fuel pump leak - hasn’t leak until today
Excessive ball joint wear - they where brand new
Fog switch missing - its there and worked think he must have been blind
Excessive steering column movement up and down and defective attachment
Excessive emissions
Non conforming numbers plate - black and silver pressed metal didnt go down well then
Offside front mirror missing - wouldn’t expect just an overtaking mirror as enough
Tire not fitting according to side wall instruction
Rear brake imbalance
Fluctuating service brake either side

The lads stripped the rear drums down today found that the OSR had shat itself and pissed brake fluid all over the shoes. Ordered new drums, shoes and cylinders just to be sure.
Also found the steering column mount at the weekend.
Fingers crossed retest Wednesday.
