Well the MOT got booked today, for Monday at 20pm

Anyone guess what its gonna fail on

Standard headlights went on again today, was expecting it too look shit but it doesn't actually look to bad, am tempted to sell off the Morettes and the Angel Eyes I have sitting in the Garage and put the money towards other things.

Well here's the plans:

If it Passes: (Which is very unlikely and what im expecting)

.Replace a few tatty looking pipes in the engine bay
.New Suspension
.New Brakes
.Move onto Interior and Exterior

If it Fails:
.Do the work thats needed to pass
.and re-book MOT

Thing is that its the emissions that Im worried about, considering it has a de-cat

But will see how it goes, im just expecting it to fail

.Nearside front seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded

.Offside front seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded

.Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded

Im glad its passed emissions, Ive now got plenty of time over the winter to get all the bits sorted and then onto MOT'ing it again

UPDATE 12/10:

Well its come to an end Im afraid

Got the car in the garage and got it up in the air to get a better look at things, and the result is not good.

Rear Drivers Side Arch


Sills...




The rot is right through to the inner sill aswell and starting to eat its way into the car.
So its safe to say this build has come to an end.

But Im faced with a delimma now, do I...

1.Sell the car complete as it is with the faults and sell it as spares only and get what money i can back for it.

2.Break it for bits and keep the engine and such back for another more better shell

Im not to sure what to do at the minute

Well need to think things through before I make any decisions, doubt it will go in the green one tbh

If i do re-shell it will more than likely be into another black corsa sport shell, but a newer decent shell.

But gotta have a decent think and make a plan first

Feel bad for you but what I'm wondering is how you ever managed to miss that when you bought it..

You can get shells or non runners for pennys so not the end of the world...
