Holy s##t Reg, I didn't realise it was that bad
Only kidding of course. Rest assured it'll come out of my workshop looking a lot less rusty.
So when do you want to collect it. Next Saturday ?
Of course you could always buy a really nice french blue one and save yourself the wait
I'll even put your auto box in if you like

Even I would have a go at the welding and I've only just started using my MIG in anger.
Fancy finishing my Acclaim Derek?

Derek has taken off the drivers outer sill to reveal this lot..
Nothing
too alarming, that we all haven't seen before..
An order of outer sills and reinforcers is in progress at the mo.
More delightful pictures of solid metal soon..

Looks good Reg! good progress!
How has he cut off that sill so perfectly straight? Plasma cutter?
