This Project BMW Was Worse Than We Thought

This is our project car build, and honestly… it’s in worse condition than expected. With the MOT test deadline just 2 weeks away, we’re attempting a full DIY car repair to get this car road legal. Right now, it’s too loud to pass an MOT, the exhaust is blowing, the wipers aren’t working, the seatbelt is broken, and we’ve got several other MOT failures to deal with. This is a real world budget car rebuild, with no professional garage, limited tools, and a lot of trial and error. In this episode, we tackle multiple common MOT failures and try to fix them ourselves: Exhaust repair (cheap DIY fix to reduce noise and pass MOT) Replacing a faulty passenger seatbelt Fixing a broken wiper mechanism (long and frustrating job) Quick brake check and inspection Draining plugs and basic maintenance Swapping the front grille – let us know your opinion in the comments Full breakdown of costs so far We also take the car out for a drive and talk about future plans, running costs, and whether this project car is actually worth saving. This is a realistic car restoration / project car UK journey — not perfect, not polished, but honest. Will it pass the MOT? Or are we wasting time and money? Watch to find out.
