Iv got a few old cars and my MOT tester always gives them an advisory for 'oil leak' yet i can never find one

Bar my MX5 which was pissing oil out the crank seal down the front of the engine yet he passed that with no advisories

So yea MOT testers .........

In terms of the cav though I'd be happy with that MOT on a old car like that, nothing serious. What is it now must be touching 30 years old?

Gave the car a clean so its ready for pvs












Also did the gaiter - £4 well spent

Removed toms pvs and mig stickers then added my own tat




Decided ill probably keep it and get a spax adjustable -50mm kit, 3 inch turbo back exhaust and then have the arch lips painted ( they were flaking and strting to rust, ao i dressed them back, anti rusted and matt blacked... Not ideal but you cant tell so will do for now....) paint job is shit anyways and really annoys me
