Put the passenger side door on, refitted dashboard, Run new speaker cables, put the front wheel back on. It's now back on the road after welding in a new door stiffener panel, flitch panel and a panel. And the door no longer needs lifting to close it.

Just the driver's side to sort now!

Welded in a floor edge repair section. After a dodgy start my welding is improving again, used the old squashed copper pipe method to get a nice but weld along the floor.

I'm in the Waikato, our WOF (warrant of fitness) is every 6 months for older cars, cars made after 2000 is yearly.
Cost varies from $29-$49 depending on where you go. So £15-£25

Finished a slow project - nice new red newton commercial carpet (from Santa), 10 sheets of silent coat on the floor, under bonnet and bulkheads, bit of sound isolator on the floors, trimmed A post with chushioned vinyl to match the seats.

Also started a pre MOT check and ended up repairing the windscreen washer pump with the assistance of my 4 year old nephew.

Fitted both doors, and the locks, catches and handles, my other half helped bless, however she wasn't taking to much care and now I have a 5 pence piece sized chipped paint  on the back wing where it meets the door.... count to ten and say its ok, it doesn't matter. Then when she excited the garage fall to my knees and cry ! once I get over this I fit the plastic moisture barrier and the door card and the door furniture. apart from the paint damage a productive day.

The maximum garages are allowed to charge for an MOT is just under £55, £54.85 to be exact. So you shouldn't be getting charged £60! Unless of course that includes other work..
