THOMMA55 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 i did think about that on friday night because i can get the welding done for free , but the amount of other problems it has makes it hard for me , with no money aswell i cant get it mot'd which means its illegally parked. so shes gonna have to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Where is it parked? Looks like private land to me, plus your neighbours won't worry. Is it in that car park I dropped you off in when I had the dodgie idle valve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort_Kid Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 So is it not rotten then, have you checked the floor etc for rust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOMMA55 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) yep checked the floor ive had the carpets out , no rust which was very surprising its just surface rust, so will get that painted asap , also my dads bought me some underseal so will be busy at that soon only rot is on arch tbh arrrrghh im soo happy getting kept in a garage for free... now that its in a garage im gonna restore it properly wont be ready for a long time but i dont wanna go through all that of losing it again , i plan to keep it for a long time so needs looking after Edited February 20, 2009 by THOMMA55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort_Kid Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 bonus! get it all back how it was and start adding to it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_2f2f Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 yep thats the other thing , and one of the reasons my car has ended up like this is because its been sat under a tree for a year not moving atall sad times The White 5b in my sig was the exact same situation as you, but it was rust free apart from the battery tray, it sat there for a good 3 years before it got towed to Manchester, then it sat there for a month and got broke into, so it got weighed in too.... I spent some money and time on that too so it is sad to see the car go, onwards and upwards though as people say i found out today its not the sill thats gone , theres just a big puddle in footwell and it comes out behind the sill Whats the battery tray like? thats exactly what happened to mine..... Keeping it :D gonna be nice and clean in a garage too gonna get it all undersealed and do a proper job of getting it looking mint while its in garage somewhere to be dry So happy !! Glad your keeping it now, wish I had a garage to store mine in when I had it, probably would still have it now (should read all thread before quoting parts lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort_Kid Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 argh damage everywhere maybe you should raise it to like -40mm instead of -60mm as its obviously not practical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
