Default A moment for kyle

I just want to post a little note for kyle(CHIZ) cos everybody has spent loads of time rebuilding a mkII cortina with him and now the car went for it's MOT and the long and short is that if we didn't know the tester really well it would have got a do not drive.

It's breaking his heart and he feels like he has let everyone down.
Not the case

I suggested now, strip the car, cut it in half and use one end of the car as a barbecue when blue oval scotland move to the new garage.

what's the thoughts?

basically the old guy that owned the car before kyle used cataloy on the back end and made it look like welding bead.

when we were underneath it the gutty looked like weld so we just ignored it but when the tester hit it with a hammer to check for strength, well, the arse end of the car fell to pieces. i'll get a copy of the MOT sheet this weekend.
