    Mot failure?
    Just wondering, as it used to pass, before, with gorilla tape over it. Not that I’m bothered, tbh. I have a ‘new’ front to use to fix it, but at the moment, I don’t really want to get into it, as too many other things to do. The vans road worthy, etc, and I know the purists prefer nice shiney, factory looks, but it’s now a usable van, and I want to use it.
    What’s the worse that can happen? It’s water tight, and tbh, if you crash one of these things, your pretty stumped anyway.
     
  2. MOT?

    Why not ask the MOT man. It used to be fail for pedestrian hacking sharp edges but I don't see windscreen surround coming into that and it's not near a braking or steering component for a structural fail.

    As long as there are no sharp or sticky outy bits it will be fine.

  6. That image messes with my head :confused: :lol:
     
  7. I'd be more worried about the welding on the front beam to be honest .
    Just take it for an MOT and see what it fails on , that's what most people do ...

    My van looked like that, after a rave I came back from.
     
  13. I bought a T25 a few years ago and found out about the rot behind the front grilles on the trip home - it started raining and puddles appeared in the cab footwell. Oh how we laughed.

    It WILL get fixed, one day. I Havant quite got the confidence yet, to rip the cab out and fix it. Also, I’m a bit stuck for a place to do it, too.
