The Mrs old motor that she sold when she got Rayfs 3Ltr is past due for MOT again, if yu all remember I had to do some serious welding on it last year around the rear spring mounts, this year we have worn track rod ends, corroded discs and worn pads and some welding needed around the wheel arch seat belt points and a bit on the inner cills, the new owner parks it on the seafront every day and it is has taken its toll on the corrosion front, Rick
