MOT day

Postby MXFiver » Sat Feb 05, 2022 3:30 pm

Hi everyone.
The Old Girl passed her annual milestone earlier today and I'm well chuffed.
Like many higher mileage, older NBs she's got much crustiness going on underneath but nothing too dreadful at this point.
Emissions were touch and go so I'll be looking to improve that aspect going forward. Here's to another year of top down motoring :handgestures-thumbup:
Cheers,
Guy

Thanks M-m.
At some point I'm hoping to add a thread with a few more pics of how she started and what's been done so far.

I do hope you don't end up with an annual Cat Convertor replacement like I have. Good luck

So I'll add to this one with my 1991 Eunos passed her mot without a hitch, tester took one look underneath and said he was wasting his time as he could see she is well looked after. Just got a minor front brake imbalance but thats it for another year. God I love these wee Roadsters.

I did front and back strip down, clean and rebuild back in April before she was let loose after being sat for six months in the garage.
