Well the passed it’s MOT first time yesterday so that’s that for another 12 months!
My strut seals never did come from Toyota so I made a new seal using a rubber I had in my “box of miscellaneous gaskets, rubbers and other non vital unknown bits”. Seems to have worked a treat!
Gave her the yearly waxoiling too, which is messy but pretty satisfying. It easily has 10 litres in the old girl now so technically I should be able to park it in the sea.

Anyway to celebrate the MOT pass I modified the bike can! I have never liked the look of it on the car so I cut it up.
Say hello to 7″ of up swept delight!

Its hardly a 6ft star exhaust but I think it is in keeping with the rest of the shakotan-esque styling.
I love this thing. It’s like a mini TE27! Love the boso-style rail handle hanging off the rear too, very cool. Great choice of rims of course!
We wouldn’t mind featuring this on grandJDM actually, if you’re down with that. Shoot us an email if you’re interested!

Congrats for MOT-passing
Enjoy the summer with your great little car.
It feels good to be back on the roads. Yesterday we did our 1st sunday-tour with our Pug 309.
It has passed the german TÜV last week but needs some more love…
