Default MOT time for the Saph

For the last 2 years we have been advised about the rear legs


So this year we thought lets it it done before the MOT


Here some of the rot cut out





Been in today to drop of the new clips for the body kit

This is what it looking like at the moment





Looks like when l get it back l will be stripping it down to change the rear diff




Some picture of it in the workshop





Fuel tank out this week and then the other side
