Poo !

Dropped my car off to a local body shop (bmw specialists) to have my n/s front jacking point welded and a small 2" bit on o/s inner sill this morning about 830 (MOT fail)

Got a phone call about 10 30 " do you want to come and have a look at your car mate- bit worse than we thought??"



so with visions of complete sills/wings floors bieng needed i jumped on the bike and shot down there, when i got there the guy had cut out the rust on n/s an left about a 8"x4" hole to fill in plus about 6 inch on inner sill needed a plate , also found will need a plate soon behind throttle pedal/inner sill about 4 "



not as bad as i thought he was making it out- got both side skirts off and wing kit on both sides and rest of car is solid bit of surface under the kit but its 16yrs old FFS

I was under the car recently at MOT and its solid just these little bits that i knew would need done- have had it for a year so wasnt that desperate to be done- should have seen some of the shitters i looked at before i got this one-

so hopefully will be all back together tonight and all happy again!!

Would have done it myself but all my tools etc are back in my workshop in Scotland - so i have to pay someone
completely against a Scotsmans principles!!

Also just found out my MOT station has a roling road round the back!! might stick it on the rollers and see what its making!!!

Hey thats not really too bad. And once its done, its done if you see what I mean.

Just be thankful its not a French car of a Ford/Vauxhall

So paranoid that this is gonna happen on my G plate car. I can't express my anxiety.....
