Keep it all in perspective as you go.

Alrighty, Holidays!

gah doesn't it ever f*cken rain over there? I just spent a full day working on the LX and it didn't stop pouring. I can't see any evidence of moisture in any of your photos.

Nice work Tim!

We have, in fact, had a bit of rain recently...

Are we going to see an update on Heath's car?

Got my floorpans done :D

You can see the little rust hole in the firewall, and the more obvious one in the A pillar.

I was pretty surprised to find that both front floorpans have already been replaced.

They've been put in properly though, so it's all good.

My LJ is now rust free! (I hope :blink:)

Dad and I had a go at the lower A pillar today, got the rust cut out and patches welded in.

We cut this out of the LC boot cut we got with my first shell.

Welded it in, now all is good :D

Cheers guys. Only 3 weeks until the holidays, we're ordering a Rares replacement sill and should have that welded in over the hols.

Also in the hols, I'm doing a defensive driving course and I should have my P's :spoton:

Got nothing done over the holidays, unfortunately. Now I'm home sick with the Chickenpox, so I decided to re-silver my dash.
