Wasn't there a post a couple years ago where spursfan chopped an almost rust free inner sill panel out of one of his scrappers for somebody - i seem to remember seeing a photo of said scrap car folded in half once the sill was removed.

Thanks a lot jack, I just had a quick look and it seem's to be just what I will require -- and even better by a real pro. I now need a day's peace to read it and digest it ( mentally not orally ) Great of you to look it up and send the link, really appreciate your help :thumbsup: regards Frank

TThanks for some very interesting comment's and info, When I said tin cans I know that cars have been repaired n the past with can's - bodges and old sock's stuffed into main chases rails - I saw plenty when I had a garage back in the 70s.

Try working on 1960s Triumphs for some real botches... I had one last year, owner arrived wanting a door handle but decided he'd like a 'look' underneath on my ramp. The car was inches thick in underseal, underneath it the rear chassis outriggers had gone completely, just air so nothing supporting the outer edges by the rear wheelarches but he had built the underseal up over various bits to give the appearance of solid metal. Didn't worry him, car is MOT exempt. Scared the hell out of me, though. I made him up a repair section and told him to get it welded in asap.
 
yes pal, like you I have met all sorts and seen very strange and interesting "repairs " It really is frightening that this sort of bodge has not been stoped by MOT's and still goes on today. one recently visited garage offered to - patch it up to get through the mot and then I could sell it - I politely declined the offer although it was a cheap fix.
