Default Flew through the MOT...

...almost.
New MOT is a proper little so and so. But after a bit of messing around and lost time, the initial fail for ABS warning light (sensor which previous garage said was OK) and diesel drip (which miraculously disappeared for 2nd free test) and we're good to go for another year.
This year is going to be dedicated to tarting the thing up a bit.

Good stuff, reckon those sills may need a dose of looking at for next one though. So what are your tarting up plans?

As you say, sills and other bits of bodywork need looking at and rustproofing.
Looking at various bits of rubber as most of the car is original, I think.
Suspension is in there for an renewal.
Motor and running gear are fine.
Time, for me, is the biggest problem.
