I have at least a half a dozen "spares" but the only ones I know work are in my cars, I tried a few for you last time you asked but didn't find a worker, bought some more since but untested

There is a reason for that. I hope your transaction goes to plan and then the company gets shut down lol

Progress! :party:

This morning I borrowed a MIG and got stuck into the drivers sill. I've fixed all of the rust and dents in that, now I just need to tidy it up a little bit more :D

I also filled up the couple of little rust holes in the rear windscreen, and a couple of badge holes. Oh, and I removed the drip rail trim (3/8 spanner worked a treat :D)

Tomorrow I'll be having a go at the passengers side sill :D I'll try to get a couple of pics tomorrow aswell, Mum had the camera today.

EDIT: Also, my carpet and rubbers arrived :D All look good.

Tim
