Another 610 in for a makeover

Postby clee » Sun Sep 14, 2014 7:32 am

Was trying to just crack on with the 4 major projects for the rest of the year but this one has just come in with very bad sills ..

Any sign of wavyness in the lower sill return seam and you're pretty much assured to have some rot

So that's two to go nextdoor now for sill work ...

Quite an important Yellow one to us geeks.

Glad it's getting some love and attention. Is the engine getting some tlc too or is it quite healthy?

Okay Martin, why is it more important than any other A610, yellow or not?

.......grotbags ...
Not looking forward to the sills on this one .I think it will take a lot more than usual to sort as it has really grabbed hold .Hopefully we will find some good metal to play with .

BigM does not own this car .
It is special because it was on telly.
The A610 BigM implies is the most special is the 610 that BigM owns and is special because BigM owns it .

I'm glad that's cleared up. I thought I was losing the plot there. Talk about confusing..... I was beginning to wonder if I was acting retarded.
