Like the title says it's time to worry! MOT next month and I know it's going to fail! I have created a list:

None of the electrics work (no wipers, no washers, no lights etc)

Both wheels rock (when the car is jacked up or on the floor you can grab the top of the wheel and rock it) Guessing Wheel bearings??

It runs on

Needs new front passenger side indicator unit.

On top of this there are other problems:
Needs a new needle ready for the stage 3 head, halogen conversion needs doing and new suspension.

Does this sound right or overly expensive and not worth the hastle??

[backstreetclassics]

have fun doing all off this

price seems about right

Big list of bits there.

and since we don't know what the rest of the car is like we can hardly say if it'd be money well spent.

I'd do the minimum before the test only what's cheap and an obvious fail. Once it's failed you'll know what needs doing and if it's worth spending the cash.

I agree with Ethel.
