    structural panels such as cills and a,b,c posts are usually thicker than door skins wings because thicker metal is harder to work with so thinner steel is used when more shape is in the panel .. ...

    coat all the cavities and the backs of panels with wax oyl . . . help prevent further rust as welded panels are more likly to rust along the welds so make sure you protect the back side as well as the painted side,

    read the title mate , worn rear axle bushes (worn not fuked) standard rear suspension ( is known to be a bit shit ) no abs(some cars dont even have abs), i have also arranged to get a rear axle with abs rings and got the polybushes to put in it , but having just bought the car im a bit skint till the end of month and living mile away from work with loads of lanes i ant walking when these faults ant that bad really also ive only had one other knock and that wasnt my fault and would say im a pretty good driver. but any way you are right about responsibility of the safety of others around you and would advise anyonr to not drive in bad conditions with a vehicle without abs i think abs should be compulsory cars without should have to have it fitted like when seat belts came in.

    so you have never driven a car with a few issues? and whats the point of talking about something that didnt happen, as i said ive leant my lesson and wont be driving any car i know isnt 100% .

    but remember accidents happen everyday regardless of the vehicles condition in rain like that anyone could have lost it and plough in to you.

    i also have my own family and dread to think of things like that happening but i wouldnt drive my family around country lanes in the pissing rain i would have used the mainroads.
