Right, more of an update.

Have sorted one sill neatly and well. The N/S sill is solid but just a bit ugly looking, surface rust has been removed, rust killed and painted over with POR15, it will be painted over shortly. The wing will have a repair for now. 
The backbox has been done.

Took the car to a local gearbox specialist who has good reviews, they thought initially it might have been either a bush or stabiliser, however after a test drive it seems to be the gearbox bearing itself and we are looking at around 750.

Yay for buying a car with a duff gearbox.

What to do…..

Fuck it, it’s booked in. 
It’s had the timing belt and all the associated stuff done, it’s been serviced. It runs well, it’s spacious and comfy.

It could do with a new rear tyre,  a couple of ball joints and tracking.  Not earth shattering.

If I went out and spaffed the same on another one, I would only have to repeat the fuckery of having to sort out the neglect of someone else’s shit car for sale, so no point tbh.
