MOT fun and games
« on: May 13, 2007, 02:43:59 AM »
Well, hearse went for MOT this morning..........


And passed :D
Bit nerve racking, lunched the coil, points and condensor during the MOT due to the ballast resistor having lost it's resistance :roll:
The drive to the MOT station was the first time it's been driven since it came off the road a year ago!
 Had to go and buy parts for a 30 yr old car on a Saturday morning and then fit them to get it running before the timer ran out on the MOT computer!
Still, a pass is a pass so straight to the Post Office, taxed and on the road  :D  :D  :D
Will post some pics when I get a chance

Wow, I love it! Are all the air components under the coffin deck then? Like your steering wheel too, very nice, where'd you get it from?

Cheers dude, yeah, 3 tanks and all the solenoids and stuff under the coffin deck, engine driven compressor.
Steering wheel came off the internet from a lowrider bike store in the states, bit of work to make a boss for it out of the original steering wheel but well worth it.

Yeah, luckily power steering takes most of the strain,
Edges are a bit fierce though, I've already cut myself on a stray bit of chrome!
