eltel 0 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Just carried out MoT repairs on the sills/ floor pan on mine. Some idiot had previously jacked it up on the sills in the wrong places, squashed them and the water and crap got stuck in the small gap and started to rot. Me and my mate (ex panel beater and welder) cleaned the areas, fabricated plates and welded in new sections, underseal and stone chip on, stronger than factory! lol. Got rid of one drain hole with a specially made galvanised 'cap' tacked and sealed in place. Link to post Share on other sites

muttley 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 quick update.Went to hatfield today which is a 40 mile round trip and noticed something strange about the handling it felt wobbly and it was swerving as as i went round roundabouts. Also felt as if i was driving over rumble strips all the way. The feeling wasn't coming from the steering wheel but from under my feet/pedals. So when i got back i decided to jack it up to have a look using the car jack on the front drivers side jacking point. Jacked it up wheel came off the ground and was just about to give the wheel a wiggle to see for any play and the whole car dropped down.The jack disappeared up inside the sill so i lowered the jack and got it out from the car and a lump of rust the size of a sandwich plate fell down on the floor. I had a feel about and i can now get my whole hand inside my sill not happy at all.Do i now give up the ghost? Link to post Share on other sites
