It is from Rotherham Alf, all the bad bits have been cut out now and a tom Hobbs panel cut to fit, I have cleaned the insides a bit, going to give it a good scouring before treating it with rust killer.

A Question...
Hello Andy, has this car had the soaking carpets in its past years? I think I've found another problem related to that issue. I've noticed that just behind the lower seat belt mount there's a gap in the inner sill that goes to the floor pan, it has a half sealed plug of sheet metal that will let water in very easily. I think that the water in the foam of the carpets gets into this hole and is pushed backwards by the forward motion of the cars, hence the bad rot at the rear of the sills.

The carpets are dry Mike and have been ok for the last 6 years that I have known the car, I don't think it helps that it gets used all year round and not much tlc on the underside.

Twas a mild chill in the air and I was getting sand blasted by the leaves. But I continued step to up to the challenging much needed 'plenum' clean. Amazingly it was like a dry dock..dry not wet. No water marks. So have the engine bay a good cleaning. You know, to make it look pretty.
