Car failed its MOT ... ( and now passed )

grinder · August 14, 2013, 07:59:06 PM

OK the welder chap came on Tues and put some plates on , got home and started to seam seal them , the drivers side was superb , the passenger side , I ended up blowing a hole in the car ( using a compressed air blower - as I was drying the plates ! )

At this point I had seam sealed the plate on the drivers side and painted all the rust with hammerite , and I did some hammeriting on the passenger side

He came back this morning and put another plate on

Got some white stone chip today so I could spray it up

Got home and made a start ( and finished ) .. car is booked in for the re-test tomorrow .. so fingers crossed eh !!!!!!!!

Shaun , yeah its going back to Tricky

Not overly impressed with the stone chip , its really thin stuff .. it might dry better though

I might buy another 2-3 cans and use one can on each arch and then spray up the underside of the fuel tank and spare wheel well

Gonna get it thru the MOT and RS10 and then maybe do it
