Phase 1: Purchase of the car to MOT

The front page was getting a little busy so I've slit the site into sections. This section covers the period from my buying the car until the day it passed its MOT

June 17th 2003 - What have I done!
June 21st 2003  Movie - Stripping the damaged front
July 3rd 2003 - More stripping - and lots of rust
July 17th 2003 - At last, we've fastened some bits back on
August 20th 2003 - Yaay - we can start it!
September 7th 2003 - Getting there - plus I've fitted a completely useless accessory
October 19th 2003 - First update in ages - Loads of stuff done!
December 12th 2003 - A few improvements
January 17th 2004 - Slowly but surely...
January 24th 2004 - Hooray - the sills are done!
January 25th 2004 - Sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding...
February 17th 2004 - Not much news - I've got the other sill cover fixed on, and the sunroof is looking much better!
February 21st  2004 - Sanding, filling, sanding, filling, sanding...
March 6th  2004 - At last! The car's gone for its MOT
March 13th 2004 -  Oh yes! I now have, in my grubby little hand, an MOT certificate. After getting the brake pipes done, the car failed only on corroded brake discs, which they replaced for a decent price.
