thank you for the welcome . i,m sure i will enjoy my time here. well my car went for its mot and failed :( but only on headlight adjustment and o/s handbrake not good enough. had these problems sorted as soon as i got home as i,m a trained mechanic so it was easy :).. but all in all the tester said the car is in very good condition since i got it and sorted a few problems the previous ape made lol.. will upload pics asap for you. thanks...
 
well the car is back from its retest mot and its past :) only needed its o/s handbrake cable replaced and the headlights adjusted. was a little tricky as theye are aftermarket units.pics to follow. so i spent all day yesterday fettling and replacing a few little bits .since owning the car i had to sort the exhaust system as it had coke cans on the joins :no: the funny thing was i took them off and it didnt actally ned them it just needed an adjustment and new clamps.lol i had to sort a few little bits and bobs to replace fault or broken items. such as rear lights side repeaters and a few bulbs. a few pics
