Sills and...
« on: 28 October 2020, 17:38:07 »

So my turn to report about corrosion; MOT not passed due to sills, corroded under those plastic covers which does not worry me but in right side behind the sill where the "arc block" starts and where the inner part of inner wing should be welded is corroded, too. Now have to think whether worth repairing... others OK

All part of the same repair. If you like it fix it. If you don't, sell it to someone who does ;)

After having thought this a while one of my friends promised to weld it for a reasonable price. While waiting he'll finish it I drive my wife's Scoda.

That. Have a good poke about at the front chassis rails, steering box and rear suspension mounts before making a decision.

Sure, it's ready. What you mentioned Nick, seemed to be ok. Next week just show it again (MOT) and I can continue driving this car which is more interesting than that Octavia... (Wife is happy with that).
