Re: Feeling nervous
A bit further East than Winnersh...Wokingham.
Welding done, very tidily too, need to get it painted now and investigate inside both cills and the rubber grommet/bungs with a view to Waxoyling / Dinitrol or something similar to prevent further degradation.
MOT failed on the one item I didn't check, front brake flexi hoses
Sorted now and MOTed for the next 12 months.
