Stripped the car back to see what body work needed
I'm amazed at what we found, there is not a single hole or any rot whatsoever which is unheard-of. This must be one of the very few that have never seen a mig welder.
I'm very happy and yes okay it was worth paying extra for the car

All rubbers are in great condition and there is no rust behind them so decided to leave it in. The painters have a beading that goes round the rubbers to holds it up while they paint behind.
I just agreed with them really leaving it in was best option
They have had it since 10th January so fingers crossed it is not much longer. There were small dents, bubbling and scratches everywhere so they have had to take it almost to bare metal. When I saw it in primer it was as smooth as a baby's bum

Nice, so close yet so far!
Hopefully it'll be a quick job at the painters and not one of these 4 year jobs
4 years I bloody well hope not
