im quite pleased with apart from the gap on the passenger side! unfortunatly it warped a bit and as i welded it up off the vehicle i didn't notice :argh: but it works for now so it's on lol just want to get it on the road now! will perhaps do a bit of cut and shut on it later along with other cosmetics like the rusty wings, now only need to bleed brakes and get a brake light bulb :D

n/s headlamp aim- figures since someone went into front of it before I got it
one tyre starting to separate - never noticed on inside edge
exhaust corroded- knew that but didn't think it was too bad meself expected an advisory
emissions- all tests :/ - hmm it's misfiring quite a bit ordered some new plugs after that bit over my head petrols not really my thing
weeping union on front caliper- hopefully just a nip up
front to rear brake pipes excessive corrosion

they failed you on a corroded exhaust? and theres not a hole in it?
take it to a different mot station lol

not too bad, get yourself a brake line kit... think they are £30-35 on ebay including the copper pipe?

there is a hole but its quite small i'e doubt you would get a pencil in it in rear silencer also a bigger hole in the last 6 inch of pipe but wouldn't have thought that would matter right by the exit? getting a quote of garage if not to scary might just get it done!
