Bit of a run around N Wales yesterday, managed priority parking on the prom. Slight incident with the gate coming home. 😢   |

Little details make me smile, shiney, new, nuts. Now if only I had ordered 20 instead of 16 I could do all four wheels…  |

Welding still not done, my man is swamped, should be going in into his unit in a day of so. As well as the sill hole, front bumper is being painted and much to his dismay the new/old wing.  |

The previously scraped front bumpers been repaired and painted, fitted at the weekend, added a bit of 'italian' with the plinth.   |

Where does it need welding? Mine has had a few bits done in the rear wheelwell, but is otherwise alright (save for a bit of crust on the front bumper mounts).

Rear footwell area are known spots, near the drainage holes. And also where the floor meets the sills over the entire length..
That gummy plastic liner on the bottom of the car hides the rust perfect and keeps it all together until suddenly the holes come through.☹️
Pull the carpet and sound deadening out and have a look underneath.
My first 156 looked fairly ok, or so i thought.. if we would have sat 4 fat guys in it they would have gone through the floor. It was totally rotted out over the entire length of the sills. Just scrapped the car, way too much welding to fix that.

Previous owner had the o/s front inner wing done and the same side back of the front wing where it wraps under the car.
I had the opposite side front wing done, again where it wraps under, he has done a brilliant job.
He also did a hole in the front chassis beam.
