Pictures aren't good but what you see should be where the cat is:















Fitted new bushes on the driver side wishbone but as always poly bush is making it hard to refit to car a long day and still not done one side

OK took the car in this morning to a local MOT station even though I have it booked in else where next weekend.

No booking needed at local one just first come first served, so I got there nice and early only too find out I was the only one waiting for MOT (No other cars there)

Car passed with flying colours
