MOT moving closer

Ready for the MOT - I hope!

I ring the MOT organisation everyday to see if anyone has cancelled their test. It just so happens that I was in luck and its been moved forward to the 30th of August. I have another one booked with another company for the 17th of August but that is way down in Gothenberg, which is a bit risky for a first time drive of 1100km round trip but risks are sometimes worth taking - aren't they? Of course I'm still ringing Bilprovningen everyday for an earlier date than the 30th which will be much closer to home. I have now sorted out special insurance to get me to the test and back as well as a bag full of tools, spare fuel, water, oil etc just in case I get a test with short notice.

Nearly done but there are some small gaps which could let rain through. I'll try and fill them with sealant

I finished off the windscreen after a great deal of messing about. It required a lot of drilling and tapping and bending. It's okay but I'd like to do the whole thing again over the winter time and make sure this time that I do everything correctly. It'll mean a new frame and probably new glass cut to the exact shape. Sweden is not exactly renound for it's rain free summer days so it's worth making an extra effort.

This is before I used a blade to cut off the extra rubber surrounding the glass. I had to remove the dash mirror as it hit the glass - think ahead! Instead I put a stick-on one on the glass but it's hopeless as it vibrates badly. I'll move the dashboard one and use that instead.
