looks like shes fighting to not get tested, but I bet you get it through. Youve done some seriously awesome work to it. Really miss it now, especially after seeing the vid! And as a testament to the bin fodder: was sooo much fun though: my 1st rwd car, my 1st classic, my 1st restoration project ;D

Yayyyyyyyyyy it finally passed it's northern Ireland mot (special thanks to my brother who took it down to the test centre for me when I got a cancelation) At one stage it had three mot men underneath it questioning the modifications my brother said they tested the car twice for a few things and they were very strickt on it So tomorrow my swmbo will be taxing it ( she doesn't know it yet)

Don't you have the same Mot in Northern Ireland as we do in England?because it sounds like they're being overly strict

No we can't just go to our local garage we have to go to government run test centres we even have mobile spot check mot centres where they an actually tell you your not driving home
we are not even allowed advisories
It passes or fails
We also have to display a disc in the window similar to a tax disc
