well, the guy at the MOT station was impressed that i bothered to return to try again but sadly…
no.

almost all was well but…

he wanted two or three little bits of the welding ‘finished up’ with proper seams and the headlights seem to kickup to the wrong side, as if they were LHD lenses..

ah well. i will investigate. on a more positive note it seems to be running much better and i think it could be rather nice to drive.
it needs slamming though.
big time.
