well after a bit of a challenge it passed yay!
drove it to southam where liv was and blew a fuse, so i didnt have any indecators or or wipers! (as the rain came down)
so i swapped the fuse today filled it with fuel and been driving most of the morning! im already thinking of an engine change! 1300 lacks a bit of power, but its cool at cruising! but this wont be for a while yet! need to balance my books before i spend any more!
ian at vdubs was awsome as usual! did all the finishing work (there was loads that i thought id done right but hadnt) and got her motd for me!
oh im soo happy!
now all i need do is wet and dry all the body to get a few runs gone and replace her speedo cus it doesnt work whoops!
