Two little rust holes to sort, and a quick tinker with the back lights. thats very nearly an MOT pass!
Also, got the other one running this morning.
Normally I'd say 'You mean you hope it's nearly an MOT pass' but I you are probably familiar with every MOT failure point. You should sell it as a service where people can bring their cars to you for a £5 once over to see if it's worth spending £50 on the real MOT.
Actually I just took it for an MOT and they told me what to fix.. This way I only have to fix what they spotted rather than everything thats wrong with it..
Bloke was supposed to be coming to buy my dead Scudo today, immobilizer died and it had been lying a couple of years. Just for a giggle I ran a live feed directly from the battery to the stop solenoid, next thing everything comes back to life. Couple of cycles of the plugs and I give it a crank, chug chug chug, rattle rattle rattle and away it goes......
Fucking thing is running like a Swiss watch now when you put power to the solenoid.....

Being dragged sideways across tarmac?
It's a Corsa, there was a divorce and a stroppy ex wife involved. I dont think thats anything I can fix, but I dont anticipate the replacemnt doing the same.. In other news..

Speaking of TLC, I put two tyres on it today. Dont think this would have impressed the MOT chaps
When I worked in MK, we all had company cars and the tyres all got shagged like that on the roundabouts. When I left there and had to buy my own car, the tyres didn't do that
I had a Renault 9, or maybe an 11, with a dodgy handbrake that only worked on one wheel. I used to amuse myself and my children by leave hugely long skidmarks, but only one side of the road.
This way I only have to fix what they spotted rather than everything thats wrong with it..
