Not bad at all. Inner sills showing a few signs of rust but nothing major. It had oil leak for god know how many years so think that kept it nice underneath lol.
Some surface rust on petrol tank. But again nothing major.
If I wanted to chop the inner sills out and weld in new ones, how much would this cost roughly?

Not much to update on
New fitted sump is leaking like a curse word. So found a second genuine ford one.
Start polishing the lips on the alley cats.
Full Ashley exhaust is on it's way.
New fuel filters and fuel line clamps have arrive.

So the car failed its MOT on:-
1) Nearside rear fuel hose leaking
2) Nearside rear wheel bearing excessive play
3) Offside rear wheel bearing excessive play
4) Nearside out CV join gaiter damaged
5) Rear fog lamp not working
6) Nearside rear tyre rubs arch slightly (thought they might not of noticed)
7) Offside rear tyre rubs arch slightly (as above)
8) Front tyre slightly cracked (didn't think this was a big deal, its only minor)
9) As above for other side
10) Nearside front headlamp aims to high
11) Battery insecure
12) Offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively damaged (what's this supposed to be?)
13) Offside rear sill small hole, inadequate repair, seriously affecting the strength withing 30cm of the body mountings
14) Nearside rear sill has 2 small holes
Advisories
15) Oil leak
16) NSR wheel arch corroded
17) Rear seat base loose
18) Drivers seat back lose
19) OSF headlmap aim on lower limits
The tester said if I wanted to sell it he would buy it, and the repairs will just cost more time than money, and definitely worth it to get them done, sounds like he was wanting it to be honest lol

Be careful, he may have gone over it like a crazy man to scare you into selling it. Seems fishy him saying he'd buy it, that being said, the issues menctioned don't sound bad. A days work and she'll be ready to go

The dust cover could be a rubber cap on a track rod end or wishbone or similar. If they're cracked they become a failure...

photos are working for me? strange Well, i eventually removed all the green fence paint with g3, so I G3'd the whole car Next up was rear bumper removal, as you can see, tar, grime and other various contaminants         going to give behind the rear bumper a blast over with some degreaser etc, and clean all the bumper fixings etc etc Then the rest of the car will need stage 2 polish and wax, will I will do tomorrow. Then I think it be time for front bumper removal and painting of the lower valance |

It's the little things that count    And some beading  Your probably wondering what your looking At in the first few photos, well I had taken wing mirrors and bumper off etc so I could clean behind the seals etc and get a few costs of wax behind there. I touched up one of the holes where the wing mirror sits as paint had chipped off. Don't want a rusty hole now do we? Ok it's a bit anal doing all this, but it will pay off in the long run. My pet hate is seeing a lovely cleaned shiney waxed up car to only get up close and see grime around trims and seals. |
