I have re sprayed the new mirror and sprayed it with Lac.....r ( Spelling ?)
yesterday i had to have a big chunk cut out of the rear offside cill... it had gone all rusty and collapsed so would not pass the MOT test next year if not done... it was so scary watching this geezer cut a huge hole in the car but as he welded new pices in and then welded an outer piece in and filled to gaps and painted it with sealant it started to look good again... Had it all undersealed again as well... not much on it as it was an import... infact non at all... so thats all sorted as well.next stop the body shop for some painting... got an appointment in 2 weeks time to tidy GC up and make him look cool again. will post some pics when I learn to download them from my phone

It just never ends does it. Surprised an import has rotten sills. Has it been in uk long? Bloody salt on the roads has a lot to answer for!!

More like blocked drain holes from where the water should disperse from inside the hood down inside the rear wings.
