    And there was me thinking the car wasn't that bad, fingers crossed this is the worst it gets but top marks, jonny cash springs to to mind "Steve patched it one piece at a time..........."
    Lets just hope when you go to put the bolts in all the holes aren't gone haha.

    Loving this series, lads! You're making the impossible look possible on Colin's E30. That inner arch looked like a total write-off, but you've somehow patched it all back together. Top work with the reference arch - clever solution! Can't wait to see the next part, especially if it's replacing that filler neck section...

    Such patience, it's obvious you have been in the trade for a while and do good quality work, I am 56 in another trade but get where you are at. Amazing to see the sheer rusted out shells you work on over there, we just don't get that type of corrosion on our roads (North West coast Tasmania) and my 1995 commodore ute is still rust free after 280,000km(the first 20 years of it's life were spent in the wild West coast of Tasmania but the owner was particularly fond of regularly putting it on the hoist and spraying diesel oil everywhere). Love your work.

I admit doing that kind of crazy to VW s many years ago. It’s like climbing a mountain some people think they have to climb it because it’s there. Better to walk past it and get on with something worthy of skill . Cheers

    I'm amazed at your persistence. I had a Vauxhall Viva HB in about 1981 that failed its MOT. The mechanic said "you car has died". I asked "what did it die of". "Ironworm" was his reply. I think your car is on life support for a severe ironworm infection.
