yeah but the annoying part is i was working to a fail sheet, i bought the car and took it straight to a local mot station to me to mot and to give me a fail list, unfortunately had to store the car at my sisters unit 20 odd miles away and been working on it over there and took it to a different mot station, who gave me a whole new list of fails..... in a bad way if had taken car to original mot station would of had a ticket on it now..... for the new mot showed up a lot of issues i find shocking the other guy missed, but is the difference in taking car somewhere used to older cars and to one thats not....the work will be done, difference is where i thought i would have a few minor points to address and get retest done in the ten days free period, will no doubt mean me having to shell out on another test fee.... my main problem i dont have a garage and in two weeks am losing my current car storage too, the guy in the garage was adamant you cant have and work on an old car without a garage, which i find insulting, had a few arguements with some "classic" car insurers on same subject, they told me unless i had my car garaged it would not be classed as a classic...... i've always worked on cars as a hobby all my life and never owned a garage, not through choice, but it does make some work take longer to achieve, looking car over monday before the mot we were bathed in sunshine, next day i drove it there in torrential rain, and tonight its snowing, god i love this country, but also love my "new" drophead and am determined to get it looking like it did in 81.... or maybe even better.... just dont set me a time limit...lol
