brake lines suck a bit though (fiddly behind the motor) other than that its not bad
unbolt the caliper n untwist the flexi
n maybe fit a new headlight

drums are a pain in the arse though lol
Yea nothing too bad really. Expected worse. I have already

removed the flexi pipes and got them sitting perfect now.
removed the corroded brake lines (Got copper piping just need the flaring kit)
Ordered all new clips to hold the brake pipes
Adjusted rear brakes (Drum was a bint to come off)

Will look at either fixing headlamp or just replace the bugger.

I am seriously going to have to look at some engine mounts for mine, I am sure they are on their way out Joking apart one does look a bit fooked.

Hey Tim.Yea the MOT fail was to be expected as the car is a 15 yrs old. But its all fun and games keeps me busy and least now i know exactly what needs replacing/fixing. After i drove the car to work i love the mounts! Nice vibrations on tickover. Think you should look at investing in some.
