Hi everyone,

Wow I really really appreciate all the offers of help! The main problem with the car at the moment is the issue of transporting her, she's up near Durham at the minute at my parents.

Ben your offer of a trailer would be appreciated, obviously I would cover all your costs and pay for your time, but that would help greatly if you were sure.

As for carsmetics, that would be great if I could get the car accross to you. I'm just thinking, perhaps an option would be to have the car more or less MOT worthy when she had the sills done so she could go for MOT over that way?

Also Pontskins thanks for that, if you find a couple of sills I'd be happy to take them off your hands :)

The main issue with taking her to Franks is just the distance and transporting her over there, its a long way from where she is at the minute, things will be a lot easier when she gets that MOT passed and gets mobile! However that offer means a lot Frank and I really appreciate it!

But yeah, either way I think its safe to say that she's staying! I feel awful for even contemplating sale, wonder if her wing mirrors have been burning with all this discussion haha!

Only JBL as she would get more :wink: But I could never seriously consider selling her I would sell the Fiesta first.

Great to see so many offers of help there, hope you get her sorted Rach! Just noticed on the album there is some damage to the boot and rear light, did you get that fixed? Coincidentally I have a black tulip coupe boot if you need one bit o rust bubbling but it's pretty straight! And quite possibly an O/S light...

Hey Sam,

Yeah I managed to get the back end sorted last summer which was good! Its the smartest panel on her hehe! Thanks for offer though, much appreciated my dear! As for the rear light cluster, I have a brand new one that came with the car, only problem is the left side is the old one so it may look a bit odd with one new and one old, but as long as they work they are the least of her worries!

Would be nice to get Hazey down to Isle of Wight show, but maybe best to plan for next year. I can't wait until uni finishes though, can go back to injecting all of my wages into her!

Ahhh you do? That may be useful to know! I dont even know if the left side will work so may just be easiest to replace both, at least they will look even!
