Well the sill is welded up, took a while to get all the rot out, and these cars are supposed to be rust proofed!
Forgot to take pictures before it was done, but the repair is very good.
Unfortunatly i spent three days longer than anticipated repairing my girlfriends dihatsu which had all but disintergrated underneath, ive never seen such badly welded thin metal!
Sadly the xm still hasnt been MOTd as i couldnt get hold of a set of discs and pads in time after spending three days on dihatsu.
Hopefully ill get the discs and pads this week and get it through, if not ill have to break out the motorbike

I had only intended to do the repairs for the MOT and the cambelt this week... the cambelt has been delayed untill after the summer now!
I replaced the hydractive sphere, but am not sure if its the correct one as i think ive replaced it with an accumulator
Not sure if it rides better or not, its very variable.
It has now developed a bit of a creak when turnign the steering wheel on the drivers side front

Dont know what this means though!
I also need to replace a split rubber between the inlet manifold and intercooler pipe which is causing me to have zero turbo.
All good fun, but not when writing a disertation. However a week in tenerife was pretty relaxing, seems a distant memory now!
The xantia is still being used by my dad on WVO, and still going beautifully!
