Well after a three month weldathon, my van passed its MOT on Saturday two weeks before its 36th birthday, :P its a scary ride though I thought I,d see what it would do on the by pass on the way back, and thought I was doing about 70, white knuckles on the steering wheel, looked at the speedo and it was 55 :o !!
As an aside the MOT tester told me he was driving the works minor van in the sixties doing about 65 when the fan belt broke, got another 5 miles an hour out of it!

Thanks for that, there where times when every tap of the hammer brought more holes to plate, but eventually I caught up and overtook the rot, still got a couple of plates to do on advice of the tester, but the vans main structure is now sound, and it didnt smoke to much during the test!
