I wouldn't have thought that glass was legal.

it's not - not only the sharp edges but the correct glass is designed not to break into shards like that one will

ridiculous things is MOT wise it's okay because we can only fail sharp edges caused by accident damage or corrosion and thats a modification :D

Its definately not to check the structure of the vehicle either....

My minor passed with one of the spring hangers coming through the floor no sills and except for the carpet you could touch one of the rear wheels from the rear seats :lol: :lol:

I have never used Rosehill (but my brother likes them)

I take the van to Field Motors, they are firm but fair and im happy with that! and I took the minor to BTA last time (not going back they are over zealous and looking for work)

That MoT was done by "Smith & Hunter" in South Kensington. And yes I have done all the welding needed on it just the non critical/bolt on bits too do!
