Morgens ED30 No. 1871 - New suspension & audio!
Morgen:
So, I've been a busy gal lately! No improvements to the car really, just repairs
Noticed at cumbriavag that my windscreen had been cracked. Damn stonechips. My MOT is due 16th of July so I've now got this fixed.. Put the car in for its MOT on Friday & it failed of course.. See picture
Don't laugh about the registration plate... They said they'd stick it on for me but clearly couldn't be bothered :(
But anyway - saturday went & got two new tyres for the front, went down a section size & raised it slightly too so now there's no reverse rake and more importantly, no scrubbing! Then my boyfriend sealed up the exhaust. Happy days - car should now pass no bother! In for retest today :)
Spent Saturday night gutting the interior, hoovering, treating the leather, rubbers and plastics etc then five hours on Sunday cleaning the exterior. Look how beautiful she is now!!

Thank ya! She is rather shiny.. Paintwork's not too bad but there are a good few scratches on it so could be better :ashamed:

It could always be better until you start (like I did) getting quotes for full re-spray. Even then you'd not be happy because the engine bay isn't as clean... It's a slippery slope.

I've had a quote for a front end respray... But I've since scuffed the rear bumper on a stupid bit of rock & noticed it has slight lacquer peel too! So a full respray would be needed. :sad1:
Cleaned the engine bay too yesterday as best I could, but half of it is missing so that annoyed me more than the dirt did :sick:

Passed her MOT now, all gravy until 16/07/16! except the cv boots, those will get done next month
