    Always interesting seeing how you repair different vehicles that have been in different types of accidents. Practical daily drivers for the average person to buy once they've been restored to OEM condition and serviced ready for an extended life. But there's one special vehicle that we haven't seen for a long time that we'd like to see updates on occasionally when you make more progress on it. All the best from Queensland Australia.

      It's a real danger though. I once set the carpet of one my cars on fire from an errant welding spark fixing a rust hole in the floor pan. Had to smother it with my welding glove. Caught early so thankfully the damage was minor and limited to hidden areas of the carpet and underlayment.

But I never comment on the way things are done by a trades person that makes a living doing things the way they do them.
