Fanfare of trumpets!! I have today welded the last piece of the chassis and Muttley III is now ready for his MOT! I need to paint the chassis, clip up the brake pipes etc.then I have to rig up temp rear lights and no plate etc as the body isnt on yet, but I hope to Mot it tomorrow :D

These are the last three patches :D :D Once he passes the mot I will set about the body fitting and then the cosmetic welding and finally painting.
