BB1 Scrapyard Dog - Mot pass

Post by vanzep » Thu Jun 17, 2021 12:05 pm

After being sorned for nearly 6 months i took it for its MOT (re)test today and it passed with flying colours (no advisories)
Brakes refurbed all round and handbrake reset, front and rear brake pipes cleaned and painted, new driveshaft fitted (brand new driveshaft from J&R fitted (under £90 for complete shaft). Also removed the rear wiper & motor & cleaned all the crud from the rear arches.
Im still to fit the newly painted front and rear bumpers and new alloy wheels.
I plan on doing these jobs over the next fortnight and then its time to get some road tax and get it back on the road. :D

Just got to get new bumpers on and tax it from 1st July ;)

As the new front bumper has JDM yellow Fogs i will need to fit a switch and the short loom and relay(which i have) Everything is there so it is plug and play - lets hope the fog lights work :P
Also had to order a new front reg plate as old one if JDM size

Alloys look great.

Gold really suits the car
