I have just had a new MOT put on for peace of mind. Needed some track rod dust covers and had advisories on some corrosion, so I had this tidied up and welding completed as well. Now has a completely clean bill of health – details online. The bus is generally solid and polishes up well – however there are a fair few cosmetic areas that could do with tidying as it has been outside for a number winters now since we moved. I haven’t tried to cover this up so you can see what you are looking at on close inspection. Happy to describe these in more detail/send more photos.
