Sat on a bus
« on: 05 January 2016, 12:06:25 »
The old girl has failed her MOT big time.  Both cills need welding. .. The rot can be seen even though the covers are still on. So, covers to be taken off and a phone call later to tell me the financial damage. :(

Its a free method of transport home .... easier than walking 6 miles .. :)  man turns up at a stipulated time with this big blue & red thing, you get on and flash a little thing - bit like a credit card - at this weird box at the front, and the man says thank you and asks you to take a seat. For some reason, if its full, nice young people stand and offer you their seats...... When you reach your destination he stops, opens the doors for you, and allows you to disembark ...   all very civilised and costs nothing ...  :)

Cill covers hide a lot of rot unfortunately . Shouldn't be too costly to repair :)

Depending if you wanted to go 'cut out and replace with new' or 'stick a patch over it' method, I was looking into sills myself not long ago, they seem reasonably easy to source.

EDIT: here!  :)

Looking at that they only seem to offer pre- 99 panels ...mind you .. I have no idea if there is any difference between pre/post 99 cills !!
