A new Daisy?

So, 27th March, the MOT..... to be honest, we are hoping that there should not be too much amiss(!), but we have rather let the body work "go". Daisy had a "DIY" body refurb. some years ago, (before our ownership) but the fact it was a "DIY" job is now only too visible, with the filler used in the doors cracking, and all four wheel arches showing the results of a filler/weld combination!

So, we have decided that, bracing ourselves for a "fail" on the bodywork aspect of the MOT, (the rear inner valence has all but rotted away!) to get the "bottom" half sorted and send to the body-shop! Wheel arches, inner and outer, doors cut and patched, rear inner valance.... all topped off with a new coat of paint........

We are also taking the opportunity to have a small sort of the inside, with a little TLC on the interior units, these have never been great, with screws that are too long, "lids" that don`t fully open etc....

The whole "project" is too take four weeks or so... so we are hoping to have a better looking Daisy for the Summer... and beyond!      

But, this will just be the start, the plan will be to complete with a top half respray next year... but with several more items on the "to do" list - top is a new wiring loom... but we will need to get passed the bodywork "bill" before we think about more!
