captain_70s Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Wow, you've got a good memory. I had to check another photo and you are indeed right......goes to check shed again. 20190212_143337.jpg What happened to cars with flowing lines? Why is car styling dominated by pointless angles/swage lines/creases now? LightBulbFun, GrumpiusMaximus and chadders 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Since it's nearly Valentine's Day, could Egg just buy a load of pink helium filled balloons and float it to safety? No no no. The proper way is to do that after Valentine's day, when all the commercialised trinkets are on massive discount.

SiC Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Fuck. Has the grot gone through to the inner membrane or just on the outer sill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 On a completely unrelated subject - do you have plenty in savings and know someone who is both talented and affordable with regards to welding?No. Thankfully the sill cover will enable an MOT to happen. In other news I was on Facebook and found some Civic 16v/CR-X wheels for sale. £60 for four but no tyres. All centre caps. I'll be having those then, they're only in Pwllheli. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Fuck that shit. Even by my worrying concept of safety I'd not be driving that 850, MOT or not. That's as crusty as my Acclaim was if not worse... chadders, BorniteIdentity and oldcars 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig the Princess Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Not nice to see that rust. Still good news that only a cover sill is needed I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispian_J_Hotson Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Be mindful that the sill is an integral part of the cars structure. Not only is it in close proximity to critical mounting points and other body structures it will also provide a certain amount of energy absorption in the event of an impact. The 'spread' of the corrosion appears to be large enough that it has been giving some warning for some time of the damage hiding within. There are various economic ways to repair this. A good repairer would fix this to a nice standard with ease and it wouldn't cost the Earth.
