    And there was me thinking the car wasn't that bad, fingers crossed this is the worst it gets but top marks, jonny cash springs to to mind "Steve patched it one piece at a time..........."
    Lets just hope when you go to put the bolts in all the holes aren't gone haha.

    @jimmcfee3488 6 месяцев назад

    Such patience, it's obvious you have been in the trade for a while and do good quality work, I am 56 in another trade but get where you are at. Amazing to see the sheer rusted out shells you work on over there, we just don't get that type of corrosion on our roads (North West coast Tasmania) and my 1995 commodore ute is still rust free after 280,000km(the first 20 years of it's life were spent in the wild West coast of Tasmania but the owner was particularly fond of regularly putting it on the hoist and spraying diesel oil everywhere). Love your work.

    I'm amazed at your persistence. I had a Vauxhall Viva HB in about 1981 that failed its MOT. The mechanic said "you car has died". I asked "what did it die of". "Ironworm" was his reply. I think your car is on life support for a severe ironworm infection.
