My other car...
« on: October 29, 2009, 10:40:54 PM »
Well, the auto isn't my only project, I also have this!!







Ok so it looks like bit of a shed, and indeed the failure sheet for the last mot is full of rust but for £220 it wasn't to  be turned down.

It's a 1.6 Astra Sport, Same colour as my auto and bar the damage and mot failure, quite clean too

It needs some work, but this will be done after the auto is finished, mot'd and sold.

Sounds a lot worse than it is. The painfull bit will be bleeding the brakes. Mine just failed on emissions and I was lucky it was blowing between the cat and silencer. Tighten the U brackets and it passed  :dance:

Good luck mate and I am sure you will get it through next time.  :yes:

The rust isn't to bad, dad can weld and we have a welder. He's just re-done the rear part of his sill for the mot so should be ok!!

It's a pity none of the lines I make at work would fit. I spend all day setting up machines to bend BMW, Audi and Mercedes brake and power steering lines.   :blush2:
