Booked it in for an MOT test tomorrow. i know its gonna fail but i need to know how badly so i dont have the hassle of thinking its finished in time for pugfest then discovering its really not

Bonnet looks lush mate. U can give mine some of the same treatment!! What you think it's gonna fail on?
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Pugfest prep begins! - Matt-Rallye - 02-06-2015
Rot, axle and strut top mounts, possibly brake balance / performance
Recently had new tyres & new wishbones so should be ok on that front
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Pugfest prep begins! - Dum-Dum - 02-06-2015
Good luck. I hope the fail sheet isn't too long.
We could have a nice set of rallyes at pugfest with me, you orta and rowell
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Pugfest prep begins! - Matt-Rallye - 02-06-2015
Black rallyes are only more common now than ever because they are the most desirable ones and are well worth hanging onto
pugfest should be decent

Looking good mate. Need to get them Rallye stickers replaced to finish it off!

What did you do to that paintwork?
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Pugfest prep begins! - 7057sam - 02-06-2015
Paint work looks great matt
Come and do mine
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Full rebuild begins!! - Matt-Rallye - 13-06-2015
Well well well..
So it failed MOT on the rot i already knew about, the axle i already knew about and the missing headlight bulbs i forgot i had pinched for another car
So i get motivated.. got it straight in the workshop and ready for a beam swap and some major welding...
Failed epically at the first hurdle. whilst jacking the car the sill disintegrated around the jacking point and gave way, upon closer inspection the rust has severely spread throughout the inner sill
Definitely no pugfest for the old girl now! but i don't mind as it has now been decided for a proper strip down and refresh / repair of any and all rust on the car.As she currently stands: (working forwards from the back end)
No bumper
No arch liners
No exhaust
No fuel tank
No spare wheel / cage
Unfortunately i am having to leave the axle on for now untill the sill has been repaired as its the only solid bit of the car to support it while im underneath!
Im taking loads of pics to show progress and shall hopefully get alot done now i have a proper man cave
Hopefully have it ready for some shows next year.. Wish me luck! Update with pics to come on monday when i can get to a pc

good to see a decent effort will be made to keep a black one on the road
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Full rebuild begins!! - ozonehostile - 13-06-2015
The most annoying thing about that sill collapse is that there's nothing to put it on the ramp with without making an external cage or something aha.
I'll be around later hopefully if you need bigger axle stands or the big jack
RE: Matts Onyx Rallye. 182.1bhp & 154.5ft/lb. Full rebuild begins!! - Orta - 13-06-2015
Mate this sucks big time. Keep us updated

Whilst you've got all that lot off, have a damn good look around/poke about.
The fuel tank area on my Rallye had the beginnings of rust, and mines been looked after. Surface rust where the top of the tank had been rubbing, and a lot of surface rust around the edges of the tank recess.
Bump stops and the openings behind them are proper rust traps too. A pig to get at with the beam in place as well, so give them some love.
Last bit would be to look at the edges of your sills and take the time to straighten them out where its been trolley jacked in the wrong place. Did it on mine. Bit fiddly, frustrating and time consuming but definitely well worth it.
Depends how far you want to go on it really. Not sure if you've seen my project thread but I bare metalled the whole of the underside of mine.

Thanks for the hints and tips
your project thread has been an inspiration (and im a fan of kerrys old car!) Ive forgotten my camera lead but will update with plenty of pics tomorrow
Also the plan underneath the car (and to steal a cool idea from the rallying boys) is to paint the entire underside in brilliant white
Shows any and every imperfection as soon as it appears! Will also be doing a few subtle upgrades and re-designs of the underside of the car over the standard items, already noticed a lot of bits that could easily be improved!

Muchos thanks to work for a generous chrimbo bonus plus many hours overtime! been ordering alot of parts for this and im adamant it will return to the road this year
miss driving it so much!Parts being ordered include:
30mm bilstein B4 suspension
Stef beam set to 30mm
Caliper refurbs front & rear
Oil cooler kit
Shes booked in for welding at Jamtech motorsport in january so once thats done i can concentrate of getting it serviced and cambelted up then MOT'd hopefully
then it'll be a case of saving for respray & new decals.

In truth i also had an offer i couldn't resist on the 106 turbo, Was getting overwhelmed with projects all over the place so going to just make the rallye priority #1 and get the old girl back out so i can enjoy it
the 106 sale has sufficiently enough covered the cost of returning this too the road hopefully.Gonna book my FCS tickets now in fact while i have money in the bank for once

Dropped the tank off in preparation for some major welding works. The rust is bad but not as bad as first thought!

And ordered these bilsteins to match the new beam
says in the add they are actually 30mm on a 6 / rallye hence asking for the beam to be 30mm not 40mm.![[Image: IMG_5028_zpssleo62np.png]](http://s143.photobucket.com/user/matt-taylor/media/IMG_5028_zpssleo62np.png.html)
So yeah progress is finally being made
