MOT NEXT WEEK!

 Well it's been over a year since getting the Capri but it's finally nearing it's MOT :D

Seatbelts are now installed, alarm and immobiliser are in and working, alloys are polished and painted (not perfect but getting new ones eventually anyway), new parcel shelf has been made and speakers installed, headlining is fastened up (but need some more heat resistant glue, as it comes away at the sunroof when its warm) 
ANNNNNNND most importantly the engine has been treated to all new gaskets and valve stem oil seals, and now isn't smoking!!!

Turns out half of the oil seals were gone and not sealing anything so oil was going straight into the head and onto the cylinders.

The only things I have left to do are find out why the rear window wiper isn't working, put the brand new tyres I've bought onto the alloys and going to change the steering rack as well just so its done....apart from that it's ready for it's MOT :D
