Title: I don\'t like it if people pick at scabs...

... especially when they\'re rusty scabs on the sill of my convertible.

That\'ll be an MOT failure then, which means I\'ll have to get the bodywork on the vert done a lot early than planned. Which in turn means I\'ll probably have to sell my runabout to finance it.

I just hope I can control myself enough not to let this deteriorate into a "while we\'re at it, a full respray please" kind of situation.

I\'m not having a good month, I guess. So far I\'m managed to break down in my H*nda (plus explode the back box on it so I\'m driving around in a Chav mobile and have to get a new exhaust on it, like, now), had the fridge/freezer go south and now that...

Well, dropped off the car with the bodyshop Clive recommended. Together with some other work I\'m looking at close to five hundred quid but OTOH it should be ready next week so I\'ll get it back, MOT\'d and properly cleaned in time for the Old School meet :D.

Strange feeling to actually pay someone to sort out this kind of problem - I\'d normally either weld a plate on the hole myself or just chuck the car. Oh well, I\'m trying to convince myself that (a) the fridge can wait and (b) that it\'s worth it.

I agree :yes Sometimes its just a nice feeling not to have to get burnt and covered in rust :)
