I completely agree.
I'm not going for outright speed. If I wanted a super fast car I wouldn't be driving a 306 
It's about not following the norm of slapping a supercharger into a J4RS engine and doing something out of the ordinary in a garage at home 
Plus, that sound! Who would grumble at that!

You wouldn't even need a charger to be faster than Rover power

Now that is very interesting! I guess with standalone management it wouldn't be too much of a ball ache to get running either!

As the thread title, booked MOT today.
09:10 this coming Saturday, so anybody who fancies pissing themselves laughing, stay tuned here saturday 
I reckon (touch wood) the only thing it will fail on is the fuelling. Everything else is sound as I have kept on top of it. Fingers crossed!

So sorted a bit of rust today, what with the MOT this saturday. Seemed a good idea...
This is how it looked. Under the PAS reservoir.
![[Image: image_zpse7b5c406.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zpse7b5c406.jpg)
Cut out. Ground back and 'cleaned up'. Neat eh?
![[Image: image_zpsd8dea12c.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zpsd8dea12c.jpg)
And welded up. Believe it or not, it was infact not Hellen Keller who welded this....

So had a productive day today. Managed to:
- Roll my rear arches to stop the scrubbing from the 20mm spacers.
- Fit my wink mirror (xmas present from Niall. Cheers babe)
- Change the leaky radiator bottom o-ring
- Fit my EPAS bracket
Wink mirror fitted. It is just epic. No more blind spots

Chosen location for the EPAS bracket
![[Image: image_zps6a77cb72.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zps6a77cb72.jpg)
Mount welded in
![[Image: image_zpsa9797422.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zpsa9797422.jpg)
Bracket offered up
![[Image: image_zpsd31f0fbd.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zpsd31f0fbd.jpg)
Lower mount welded in place
![[Image: image_zpsd009f10e.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zpsd009f10e.jpg)
Primered up
![[Image: image_zps567b90d3.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zps567b90d3.jpg)
Left it there for the time being. Need to grind back and krust a bit of rust. Then paint up the mounting points for the EPAS pump and lacquer.
Think I'm gonna need a custom PAS pipe made up to get over there, but no biggie.

I need to cut the bit off the bracket (the welded on silver bit) that hangs down. Then it will fit nicely, with the filler next pointing towards the drivers side.

So it failed 
On an indicator bulb. Retested and it got advisories for no airbags and for being stripped out
Genuinely shocked

So got handy with the welder again today. Added some cable securing clips and moaning lugs for the radiator (it's gotta be really obvious what this is now)
![[Image: image_zps4601b859.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/image_zps4601b859.jpg)
Slapped the first can of paint I had to hand on it to stop it rusting up something rotten. Hence it looks patchwork.
