Still needs another hour or so spending on it though.Also this is the offending tyre that is no longer circle and is making that dreadfull rumble.

Raz s Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Cheers chaps. Yeh im taking that route. Im not gonna rush things, And try to do it to the best of my abilities. Takes longer than you think though especially when making your own repair sections lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz s Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yeh unfortunatly. The car has been in hartlepool most of its life so not sure if the sea air helped to cause this or just neglect. I'd advise any one to get the sill covers off on hondas this age as they always go there. Try cure them before its too late.Any way a bit more progress on the arch/sill. this side will be finished as far as welding goes tomorrow. Im rather pleased with the result, Even more so to say im making my own repair sections. I had a feeling it was gonna be a disaster Heres progress today to as it stands now with 1 skim of bridger.
