bring some planks?

My Falcon aways needed planks to get on the MOT station lift, the one time they forgot they ripped the exhaust off and had to reweld it

I don't think there has ever been a minimum height a car has to be to be legal so just make sure you can get on the ramps. Really it's a failing of their equipment not yours. You should say their roller has just failed the test

someone on here had a link to a very detailed DIY guide to shortening pinto sumps (although I can't find it right now )

[edit] found one of them: (not quite the one I was thinking of)

i have got one you can have foc with the pickup pipe etc but it comes with a whole 1600 pinto engine. the engine has a brand new head on it when i say brand new i mean brand new out of the ford box, it only did 3k before i swapped the engine for something with more power.

its not as clean as in the pictures as it has now done 3k and sat in the shed for about 4 months.

just want it gone so deal is that its free but you take the whole thing, dont care what you do with it once its in your possession
