our project passed its mot today :-)

Post by Therunner »

here's what we've been working on in all our spare time these last few months, :)
bought for £200 (outside of ebay :shock: ) as a running project,
she's been off the road for 7 years, dvla had no idea she still existed :D

first 2 pics are of her when we first saw her, from then on are of since we've had her,

she's not finshed yet but today is a proud day in our house because she passed her mot :D ,
we've officialy saved a wreck & put her back on the road :ok ,.

it's been bl**dy hard work, Mel did all the welding & interior while i faffed around with all the electrics
& a bad spray job ;-)

big respect to those people that really do thoroughly restore these (or any) vehicles from the ground up! :ok

That looks sweet, good job.
The tin lids look like they are enjoying it as well.

damn what?, damn it! :P

some of them pics make her look 'really' pretty but i haven't treated all the rust,
the very bottom of the sliding door needs to be done & it's a bit dented, & the tailgate
has a bit of rust around the lock & in one corner, but not around the window like ours! :shock:

she cost a few hundred in materials & £350 for an mot & cambelt/tensioner done &, a lot of our hours..
all this for our friend that we did a swap
with long ago, she's waited sooooo long & i really hope she loves it! :D

Thank you

It's how we paid for the 1776. Now it's nearly finished, we can finally sit back
(or rather, go out) and enjoy our reward :)
