Re: Connecting the dots
Well you never will as my name ain't Gerry Breadvan.
This is the most important paragraph:
And that shows a massive limitation of the MOT test - as those that found chicken wire, Isopon, fibreglass or rolled up copies of Razzle under a heavy coat of underseal will tell you.If you cannot tell which the repair method, you should accept the repair and tell the vehicle presenter.

Re: Connecting the dots
Getting closer. A lack of side door on the drivers side meant I had to improvise as no access for clamps. I'm sure there's a trolley jack somewhere but two bits of random wood, friction and a hammer did the job.

That took a bit of doing with the old angle grinder. Half an hour out my life I won't get back. Looks like it's down to me now to get a bit of paint on it too so going to blather it in stone chip I think and get rid of the black tide mark.

Another go. Good job I was doing my best Michael Jackson impression earlier or that would have been a different story.

Re: Connecting the dots
The baby Toyota had a full on Cozzy install and the pickup had a centrifugal type charger fitted, like the BMW straight 6 wasn't enough?
The Volvo brick is owned by a local lad we met at Shelsley. 130k diesel and very straight. He's just started chasing bhp so it'll be interesting how that progresses.
