    I like the pressed plates, they look brighter and sharper than the typical arcylic style plates.

    I've been looking on Donedeal and came across this; http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/3704197

    What kind of money would you be looking to get the sills sorted and would it be possible to do it from home?

    I had sills done on my 200sx before, got new jacking points put in, mostly surface rust, but structurally bad enough at the subframe mounting points. Got it done for a few hundered euro, and got it undersealed then too.

    While that's pretty cheap and it looks fantastic in the pics, bare in mind a couple of things: you've not got any pics underneath, only small pics of side on sills, coming from UK and being 27 years old it could be absolutely rotten through.

    Also, with this sentence in the add: The pictures of the car with its lights on are of the car in its prime.

    It could be a total shadow of its former self by now.

    Still, if it's a shell that's not completely rotten, it could be a great project :)

    Thanks for that :)

    I might go and have a look at it but It'll be a good thorough look.
    And probably see if I could get it on a ramp.

    I've always had very reasonable quotes on the FTOs...even as a 21 year old with the GPX, I was only paying 1100 or something, that's why I don't understand why 30+ year olds can never seem to get quotes!

    everytime I come to this chipper there is never ever a queue, maybe 1 / 2 people max

    and the one proxy time I'm starving there's about 5 and a half million Spanish students in a queue not knowing what they want and all wearing stupid elumanis orange bags on their backs.

    >:(

    Toyota are issuing a recall on a load of new model avensis and older rav 4s. They seem to be issuing more recalls than any other manufacturer.
