Sounds good - mine's MOT exempt, due to age and weight, however I'm not 100% sure what the cut-offs are on this.

The original plywood was fixed with little tack nails,but i dont know how they nailed them in as the roof rails are steel box.So i tiger sealed the plywood it took me a week to fix up as i had to stick one bit each day.Prop up with wood.Oh never get tiger seal on your hands it wicked to get off.Next job it to cover the roof.Iam not sure if i should paint it cream,as some kind of cloth cover would be so hard for me to do as there lots of curves in the roof.I have now sanded the joints so its nice and flat. |

You can also see i have fitted some safety star lights as tail lights and turn signals as the other rear lights are quite low down. |
