The outer sill is a (poor) pattern part from an autojumble (bought a pair for £30).... the rest is, ahem, 'recycled' .....  Oh, the outrigger is supposed to be for a Sceptre, but the other side.... I had to chop it about a bit ;D |

TUT TUT thats a Dirty Word to me LOL Mine A pre Takeover car but i get what you mean, Maybe we should rephrase that and say the way the ENGLISH Made the cars back then LOL, Funny aint it how we are a country who salt the roads every year to stop icing and this also causes our cars to rust, so why dint the English put some of this stuff on in the first place or at least Underseal the whole underneath LOL. Ahh well. Anyhow nice work mate looks good |

Underseal! Worst thing you can to, one chip in that stuff and you're buggered. The water gets behind it and eats your floor. BL put underseal on my GT, no frigging paint, just primer and underseal  That's why the resto is taking so long, it takes forever to get the bloody stuff off so that it doesn't go up in smoke when I weld, and then I have to replace all the curse word cheap tin that's rotted out |

The paint is Wilkinson's own brand red oxide primer..... I can recomend it..... covers well, and pretty cheap too  My weldings not that good, BTW, but when it's ground down and sealed.... |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault. |

Hehe, just like my welding.
I do ok, check readers rides, it's not great, but it holds ;D
I'll have to chesk out that Wilko stuff. Is it spray or brush on?

It's brush on, seemed a bit thin at first, but like I say covers well. It's £3.49 for 500ml, which I recon is pretty good value.
