Phase 1: Purchase of the car to MOT
The front page was getting a little busy so I've slit the site into sections. This section covers the period from my buying the car until the day it passed its MOT
June 17th 2003
- What have I done!
June 21st 2003
Movie - Stripping the damaged front
July 3rd 2003
- More stripping - and lots of rust
July 17th 2003 - At last, we've fastened some bits
back on
August 20th 2003
- Yaay - we can start it!
September 7th 2003
- Getting there - plus I've
fitted a completely useless accessory
October 19th 2003
- First update in ages - Loads
of stuff done!
December 12th 2003 - A few improvements
January 17th 2004 - Slowly but surely...
January 24th 2004 - Hooray - the sills are done!
January 25th 2004
- Sanding, painting, sanding,
painting, sanding...
February 17th 2004 - Not much news - I've got the other sill cover fixed on, and
the sunroof is looking much better!
February 21st 2004 - Sanding, filling, sanding,
filling, sanding...
March 6th 2004 - At last! The car's gone for
its MOT
March 13th 2004 - Oh yes! I now have, in my
grubby little hand, an MOT certificate. After getting the brake pipes done, the car failed only on corroded brake
discs, which they replaced for a decent price.
