While the daughters car was recieving its MOT, my car decided to photobomb it

While up on the ramps, johnny went through it, pointing out a few things that needed doing for the test, and a few things to watchout for.
So i got home, and subsequently started stripping the old girl a little more.. She is looking more like a skip now... lol.
But now, we have all the bits off that people have asked for, and a few more i can hopefully pass on the help fund Gems restoration.

all about 6 months old. (apart from the top mount) which is only going on until i can fund a vibratechnics or similar. The bottom is polybush, but also need to do the gearbox one too, but that will be done when i change the box over, i will order a new one for that, as the one on the donor is knackered too.
So, no real progress on Gem, apart from Johnny "Fixing" my SRS light fault cheers bud. 
Tony.
addition,
bought/ordered new top and gearbox mounts today, so they should be here wednesday. Which gives me time to fit the lower engine mount, passenger wishbone, detail the interior, and start on the paintwork.
When she will then hopefully be MOT ready for either wednesday afternoon, or Thursday morning Lots of work to do to get her looking pristine.
