Been for it's MOT and just a few advisories. Gotta sort a questionable earth on the rear light (nearside) and free off a binding front wheel, not bad but slight reading on roller. Very happy with that considering it has been laid up for 3 years.
Did have an eventful drive on the way down though, the nearside wheel cylinder had seized and the offside was working well. So what with a full working front brake on one side and no brake on the other and CROSS PLY's (yeeuch) I broke hard and had the car at almost 3 o'clock sideways!

Me and my lad were laughing like hell. When I slowed down and worked the brakes I felt the pedal fall away and then it pulled up squarely. Gave good readings on the rollers as well. I had already stripped the rears so I guess I should have done the fronts as well.
Well pleased though. ;D ;D ;D

Chaos....panic....destruction.... my work here is done.
