Cool

My astra and its rusty sills are no more. well the rusty sills anyway. Thanks to Paul Palmer's friend, Lee, the car now has two brand new, primed painted and undersealed sills and a new rear arch (front bit).
The car handles better now, which has to be better than the shell flexing when I went round corners before
many thanks to Lee for the work done and paul for sorting it all out. You two are geezers to the bone
Next up on the list is a new MOT, coupled with a new set of piston rings and a few other bits and bobs.
After that its the respray, then she will be finished.
I'm looking forward to the day when she will be perfect again
