MOT Friday

Post by Hazzobongo » Sun Jul 03, 2022 4:25 pm

Took the bongo on friday after fitting a new fog lamp the other week and she went straight through with no advisories, the tester was in the pit underneath and said it was the best condition bongo he'd tested and he's been in the job 20 years. I'm over the moon lol.

I thought so too Bob, it still needs a little work on some surface rust underneath but theres nothing completely rotten, I've been under it a few times but need some decent ramps to actually start work rust removing and painting.

Due to the high ride you can get to a surprising amount without ramps if physically flexible. Worth a look even if not going the whole hog on ramps.
Under the front for example, crossmember a few flat panels etc.

I've been under but at 67 I'm not so flexible and being a decently sized bloke its too cramped under there without lifting it for me to work, fitting the new fog lamp was bad enough and convinced me I'd need ramps or stands, luckily my sons colleague is lending us his set so I'll be good to go by next week.
