Bex Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 2 years ago! all of mine get the full works at least once a year that's called OVER servicing, oil and filter service for 2 years then oil, fuel & plugs (my air filter is a K&N lifetime panel filter so just gets cleaned and oiled) on the 3rd year. Never had an issue with her doing it that way and she has full service history record since day dot. But each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bex Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Wee update, took a half day off yesterday and when I came in this morning the boss said "Denis worked late on your car last night" Bounced into the workshop and this is my update as of today 1 x new leg tack welded into place Thankfully it turns out the metal under the previous chassis leg section was clean metal and was coated in wax so again nowhere near as bad as it could have turned out / was expected. this is the part of the sill that was cut away, again the metal is clean and covered in wax and will be reinforced and the new sill section fitted. Very very happy at the moment :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
