Default My saff cossie updated (25/4/2020)

My car is in the bodyshop again due to the rear arches been rusty again and the front lips on the wings been rusty too.The lad who owns the bodyshop said to help and to keep the labour costs down that I could strip the car down so all he had to do was the body work.

I found a bit of rust starting on both sills which felt a bit soft to the touch lol.

So yeh the car needs a bit of tlc.Im popping down this week to so how the progress is coming on.Im dreading getting the other side stripped down cause ive got a funny feeling the other side will be the same.

It just gor me thinking about how many other cosies are like this behind the sills.At the end of the day I love the car and its my hobby so I wanna keep the old girl on the road.

Thanks for looking.
