another moggie on the road.
second time pass
failed on rear brake not working at all on pedal. i'd put a new cylinder in and hadn't bled it properly.
and on the way to the mot my front light sealed beam blew so had to get a new light.
took it back an hour later and all well with the MOT man
at least i can take it to the national now

I'm just amazed you can restore the cars so quickly it takes me 6 months to a year at least!

Nice one Steve4063, good to see another back on the road! It took me 2 years to restore my Yamaha FS1-E.
Im hoping to have all the welding etc finished by the end of August on my mog. Which should leave me some half decent september weather to spray her, (fingers crossed we dont have more of this rain when the time comes!!).
