Woh, the seam on your sills looks like its had a lot of bad jacking??? loads of bends?.. shame cos the car looks mint...  If you've waxoyled over the rust its gonna be fun for whoever is going to fix it.  bare in mind that the rust will keep spreading underneath.

Yeah whoever jacked it up from there must have been a fool. I know the rust will keep on spreading, it's something I will sort properly if I decide to keep the car, or it's something I'll keep in mind when setting the price for sale.

Didn't take before, was too exited of cleaning it  :sad: :sad:

The cam cover was very oily though, and the gearbox had a thick layer of crap on it.

This is before the engine was stuck on though.

You should paint the writing in on the inlet manifold, black or blue would look ace.
