Had my saff 4x4 cos for about 9 mths now and previous owner had stripped the underside and painted it in dove grey, all other parts painted back to orig and looks great.
I noticed that it had a bulge in drivers floor where some dick must of jacked up on the channel, so just before winter i decided to try knock the bulge down.
After 2 hits from inside i heard summat hit the drive and F##k me a massive lump of filler had dropped out, When looked under ( you guessed it) big rusty hole rite into the car.
Dear as hell for anything over here and the winter came fast and hard so had to wait to get car home
Just had her welded up and it ran rite from sill to gear box tunnel 150 quid for welding.
Why do people do this as it must of took longer to bodge than to weld up, Guy worked in a bodyshop too .
Anyway thats all she needed for mot so pretty happy seeing as she is 17yrs old.
Now she is ready for the ring in 2wks

Unless you're about to sell the car.
