MOT must be close now?

Any pics of how it actually looks now? I don't remember seeing any recent pics, or did I miss them somewhere?

Looks wise, mate - it really hasn't changed in a whiiiiiile...

That's kinda what it looks like at the moment, although the rear wheels aren't on it at the moment. Lots has changed (rear axle now has a breather kit, the myriad of little problems the last MOT highlighted have been sorted etc) but none of those changes are visible. It still looks exactly like that photo!

The only thing I can think of looks wise that has changed is that it now has new bonnet catches. The stretchy rubber handle type. And the snorkel is (temporarily) missing.

Edit - Oh, yes - and the MOT is looming. Just got to re-earth the fuel pump, redo the advance/retard on the SU, get the engine running, and put oil into the axles. Everything else is done.

Now, for my next trick I will warp the spacetime continuum so that I have the time to do those little jobs!

Yes! Hopefully on Tuesday I'll have time to go down and complete the last little jobs. Soooo close to having it on the road!

Still need to tune the SU, but it's running:

Gonna go book an MOT now. Just need to re-earth the fuel pump and fill the axles with oil. The green pipe is the rear axle's breather - gotta do the front one next, but that's not important for the MOT.

Edit - Booked in for 1pm tomorrow. :shock:

C'mon, Suzy babe, pass this time! Pass! Pass! Pass! Pass!

Good luck with the MOT

You ideally want that breather from the rocker and PCV system unblocked and vented to the atmosphere etc. it needs to be bele to draw air in, hence why it normally runs to the airbox.
