The Day of Reckoning

After a few weeks in the bodyshop, today is the day of reckoning for the Sierra. After three years of hibernation in the garage at home will she finally pass her first MOT in three years?

Liam has been busy during his evenings after work doing some welding to the floor and jacking points, which to be fair we knew needed doing some years ago, but knowing it would be a difficult job we put off. Well it could't be put off any longer if the car was to hit the road. So for three weeks now Liam has been busy after work welding and fabricating the floor, replacing bushes which were perished and sorting out a multitude of issues with the coolant system. But all of his work has paid dividends, as yesterday he borrowed the trade plates to take the car for some fresh fuel and he says it drove and ran like a dream, better then any time since we have owned it. Perhaps we have finally cracked it?

So watch this space later today to see if she finally hits the road.

  1. It has passed with flying colours and is also now taxed as well.

    Guess we will be going out for a drive tonight.
