Default Repairs, full service and fresh MOT

Had a call from MGR John this afternoon,

Extensive repairs completed, there was more welding than previously anticipated, fresh MOT today until 25 August 2022 with no advisories, full service, just some minor finishing off to do. She will be ready tomorrow.

To coin a phrase, she's good to go.

Default Work done - lots of it!

Collected her from John yesterday, this is a list of work carried out/items renewed

Both rear suspension arms
Both rear anti roll bar links
Both rear springs
Rear brake hoses and pipe ends
Both upper rear bushes
Offside sill welding
Rear calipers
Both external sills cleaned and undersealed
Both front anti roll bar links renewed
Both front flex hoses
Both front brake pipes
NSF brake caliper
NSF wing, used, supply/fit. I painted it first.
Full service
New MOT until 25 August 2022 with no advisories
Alternator checked as was suspected of overcharging
Drivers seat valance secured
Gear gaiter replaced
Rear bumper aligned

I completed painting the wing a couple of weeks ago, but will leave it a further two weeks to let the lacquer harden further before T-Cutting it back. At present its quite dull. I re-lacquered a small part of the side roof panel a few weeks ago, left it for a good three weeks to harden, and now it looks nice and glossy after being T-Cut.

To coin a current buzz-phrase, she's good to go.

Was driving past John on Friday, I would have popped in for a nose about if I had been up to date with the thread.

Sounds like she is gonna be running mint.

The nitty gritty work would have been completed by then if you had. She had to remain there until Monday at the earliest as that was the first day for MOT submission and retain the 12 month anniversary date.
