The Golf's MoT is due end of this week, so rather than do the usual and let it run out and then not have time to sort the problems out, I've got it booked in early. Today to be exact. Having spent the weekend checking it all over, and fixing all those niggles that I've just not gotten round to doing anything about. So I'm pretty confident it'll fail, there now being a small hole on the passenger side rear wing, just like there was last year on the drivers side It's surprising how little rot there is on the car, to be honest, and how easy some of the trim has come off.
Should know by the end of today what else might need doing, and when I can get it booked in for the welding. Fingers crossed
