Could be worse, Mike, it could be a twenty year old Mercedes

Or a 30 year old Mercedes. I did a LOT of welding to the old 190D.

Well I checked under the rear seat and everything is fine, showed to the repair guy in the garage round the corner so dropping it in Tuesday morning to have repair done, will be wanting to see extent once they take off side skirt, and wheel arch cover. Have no choice have to get it done next week as MOT is due the following week, will keep you all posted on developments

If it's worth doing then get it done properly, pays dividends in the end.

Yeah good point, have ordered a rear quarter panel, and subject to what find on tuesday, can get a side sill if required. So if need to order another bit then it will wait until part arrives, so investigate fully first. Gonna see/try to take the irmscher side skirt off today see what' lurking underneath, might have a go at the wheel arch cover, but think that's a wheel off job?, if it is will leave until tuesday, would just like to see whether the sill is fubared and needs replaced.

Really need to check everything on both sides Mike. There may be nothing visible on the other side at the moment, but it could still be as bad or worse under the plastic bits.

.....plus those front rails.....

[Doctor Gollum]

At least it's not raining...

[MikeDundee]

 going to have a proper look on Tuesday when get it up on the ramps, and take the bits off, have order quarter panel, as part donor, can get the side sills if required, so Tuesday will be cursory look to find full extent of issue and whether nay other issues lurking that are not currently visible , thankfully the garage is just two minutes from my door

As regards the MOT well looks like I have until 22 November now, so no rush to fix, but still needs to be done as soon as can be.

Well good news not as bad as it could have been, getting the work done now, have the car back late tomorrow afternoon, checked all other areas underneath and all fine , apart from oil leak coming from somewhere, that's the next problem to sort out ..total damage £270...oh and that includes fitting the rear track arms and doing the tracking, happy days

Sounds very reasonable & peace of mind for a few years hopefully.
