My constant work in progress 14a with added jdm'ness!!!

[Chriscooke]

Have you had your MOT yet? Did it pass?

It's on wednesday which means I have to grab a lift to the meet on monday First time I won't of made it in my own car

I have a feeling it won't pass but not entirely sure what it'll fail on

Edit: Sean-B it was done with colour splash

[Chriscooke]

Just dropped the car off for it's mot. Guesses as to what its going to fail on

[crouchy]

welding?

[Chriscooke]

That will be my guess also, oh and quite possibly the massive stone chip on the passenger side of the windscreen

[crouchy]

stonechip? looks more like a bullethole

[Chriscooke]

Ahhhhh it's all good. Theirs no hole just a slight mark on the screen

[Evilchap]

Passenger side of the windscreen shouldn't be a fail

[Andy Kouki]

How do you rate the rim wax in the end? Actually any different from normal polish?

This is what i'm hoping

I've never used polish/wax on my wheels before. The rim wax did seem to make them a little bit more shiney. Can't say how well it lasts or helps with brake dust though as the wheels haven't been on the car since they were cleaned.

I thought aslong as it's inside the sweep of the wiper it's a fail regardless of what side

[Chriscooke]

I hope not

Im guessing chassis, brake lines and headlamps

Ha ha very how very incitefull of you

[Evilchap]

Come on then, scan in the big red bits of paper for us to marvel at

I'll grab them in a min

For those that don't know already it failed on:

1. A small hole in the chassis rail (by the joint between the two sections next to the holes from the factory )

2. Headlights ignite when the sidelights are turned on (due to fitting hids over 2 years ago, and passing twice already like this )

3. Rear nearside breakline is corroded (can't argue with this one really )

A couple pics of my massive rust issue





Id be interested to see what other mot testers think of this where's chris when you need him

Edit: Looks a lot worse in the pic btw

Use foglight feed for headlights for a quick and easy fix, and unplug the fog lights

I'm thinking of just wireing the headlights back in to the oem headlights wireing as it's still all there. Should only take ten mins or so

They suggested a switch to get it through the mot. the boss seemed a little embarrassed when I pointed out that he passed it last year

[Chriscooke]

Pic of the fail sheet, couldn't be arsed to scan it and blank out all the details

[Chriscooke]

I also have an advisory for my stone chip

[Clouder_sx]

Rear brake line: rub up carefully with a bit of light wire or wet and dry to see how corroded it 'really' is. Then if it isn't awful, paint over with thick black stuff ofcourse, if it's genuinely bad then replace it for safety reasons. Mine was white with corrosion, but cleaned up with gentle persuasion, then went straight back through the MOT
