Car went for its MOT today, I expected a fail and it did! but the point was to know whats needed.

Fail points;

Cracked screen in wiper area
Rust on sills, & nearside front chassis leg
New front doors needed (I have them already)
Brake pipe corrosion
Front hoses need replacing

The sills need more work than I thought, outer and inner sills and about an inch of floorpan need attention.
