MOT / Rust / Will this pass???

Basically its MOT time whey. . . now one of my body mounts is rusted through completely, see image

drivers side rear mount:









passengers side rear mount:



Rear bumper/ boot:





One wheel passenger side rear:




Front mounts drivers and passengers:

bumper mount is errrm dunno really gone




that is all the major rust, apart from that

my drivers door doesn't open unless you turn the key in the lock and open it at the same time, tried fixing in the internals in the door but i can get them all out and i have run out of ideas there!!!

passenger rear door doesn't open either but Im told this isn't a problem for the MOT?!?

any advise on the Rust and other bits would be grateful

cheers in advanced

well ive found body mounts for £23 each, so guess i can get someone to fit that for me, as for the doors,

which seals? the doors ones? atm mines all good, underneath is all healthy either side

dont understand why some people are quick to scrap em and are do negative!

You are the most optimistic person I've seen around here in a while. If that's all the rust you have found I wonder where the rest of it is or perhaps I'm afraid where is the metal - you'll need some of that to weld to:doh: Break it, scrap it, torch it it'll cost more than it is worth trying to get a pukka ticket on it.

you're probably right about his post whoring to get his count up He's a cuunt for it.. . But in this case he's right. It's a fail.

As well as the body mounts been rotten (they do hold the bodyshell to the chassis) Sills are gone rear cross member is gone. Chances are the rear floor will be gone and if it's a 5 door wheel arches are probably knackered as well. Yes all is weldable but the cost if you have to get some one else to do it for you, is going to be a fook of a lot more than The £300/£350 that the vehicle is worth. And thats before he fails it on ball joints, corroded brakelines, worn bushes etc etc

Scrap the fooker and sell all the bits on ebay you'll make £500 if you sell everything. and buy a newer model. £500 will get you an M or P reg disco on ebay.

Oh and the rear door not unlocking is a worn spring.

oi pikey you love me really
