Don't ask the price.....
Today I - failed the nct 
Nothing major this time, surprised they failed me on it to be honest. Some rust on 2 thin bits of metal at the rear corners behind the bumper, not sure what you'd call them. I'll have to get a pic. Not part of the sub-frame itself. Anyway nothing major, visual re-inspection required after I get it patched up. Emissions were very very close, sound tester in fairness said he put it through a couple of times until he got the right result (and he did - I could hear it from the waiting room), I think he had a bit of a soft spot for the oul Subarus, got a lot of questions about it when booking in.

Went for a little spin today to get ice cream after another day of trying to sort out my garden, made a change as had just been using it to go to the shops recently.
And finally after getting excellent tips on installation from @JayDublin , managed to get sticker on, will work on the the air freshener next week

I know technically not what did you do to your car…. But it will live in there and use all the “facilities”!!!
So.. last week I’ve the painter booked in to give me a nice blue floor over a few days this week coming.
Sparks is due after that to put all the led lighting in.(hopefully Thursday)
Had my alarm man round on Saturday so all secure and cameras fitted inside it.
Fired a few Bob at P.J Fallon last week.. they are due on August 1st for fitting.
Two post 4T lift
Automatic tyre changer/bikes also.
Wheel balancer.
Latest spec led/matrix etc headlight aligner
New big compressor
Just enough room for a small single bed so I can disappear and live in there
Can’t wait!!
Looking forward to getting the car home soon and doing a few bits on it.

When is the divorce?
" Ah, no love- that lift and tyre balancer will MAKE us money, sure it would have been a crime to NOT to buy them, they were practically giving them away"
Simple - extend the mancave..No space!!
Sure you'll be living it it soon, when the missus finds out how much you really spent on all the essentials.
