I've been told no for the time being as with the Civic taking up too much space, there's nowhere to put it.

Yes it is. PMs replied to...
Apologies for making you wait.

The Fiat might be up for grabs later in the summer but won't be in the rusty state any more. No more pictures to share for now but the paint should be done next.

In other news I had the first experience of the local MOT. It is done by independent companies that do only tests. They are not allowed to be involved in any fixing activities to maintain their focus on fair testing and certification.
I received a list of things that required doing on the Saab and given a month to report back for reinspection. Certain faults don't actually need to be reinspected. Mine were a front bearing and two roll bar links.

I don't have a bearing press so had to pay for fixing.
Oh my God!!!!! What difference does changing fucked bearings make!

I'm having trouble finding the engine cover handle and spring mechanism that keeps it open if needed.

Can't wait to finally drive it!
Unfortunately that will have to wait a bit as DVLA are still delaying the V5C due to lack of "historical details"...

Really need to get hold of emblems!
Had 2 or 3 Argentinians getting scared the moment they started looking at postage bureaucracy... I really didn't think it will be that difficult.
