21st March. A Doddle Actually.

It's all been some kind of mistake. I'm not meant to be welding patches on the sills of this car. As a general rule when a vehicle reaches this point of biodegradation it should be sent for 'recycling'.

However a cursory inspection serves to foster the delusion that all that's needed "Is a spot of weld" before the annual MOT Certificate will be firmly in my grasp. In fact, merely a formality guaranteeing another year of fully legal motoring.

Once work is well under way the full extent of the corrosion is revealed. Having taken the nearside rear wheel off to get a better view, the rubber mats are visible through parts of the floor.

It's a classic case.

I could do with some holes in the floor of my car to release all the water that's swilling around inside. I suspect it has something to do with the sunroof.

A four inch nail punched through with a hammer usually does the trick, avoiding any essential arteries of course.
