Hi & welcome :wave:
Another scottish car, mine was from up there on the coast which probably accounts for the rust!

Hi Jim I hope this is the way to reply!!!!!
I agree the more I look over and under the car the more rust I find.The last owner but one had bills for over three grand for work to the sills and wings in Sept 07 and still the rust is starting to show
Regards
Don

Hi
Check Board Help section, instructions in there.
Basically click IMG tab
Scroll down to Filename attachments and select browse
Find your picture file in your pictures folder and select
Your file name should now be shown in the attachments box
Select Add the file
Uploading appears for few seconds and thats it
Make sure pics are jpg and resized to 800x600 max

Just to test, always like to show off pic of the Blue Rocket

Hi
£500 quid sound like a very good price. From the service history on my S2 the last but one owner paid over £3000 ££££££ for something like your work, can you belive it !!!!! but I have the bodyshop invoice.....what a rip off or what......that was back in Sept 07 and now rust is appearing on the front of o/s sill and on the N/S front wing.....so it looks like they never did a proper job but new how to charge.
