I didn't put that panhard (?) bolt the easy way in because, strangely, I wanted to keep this original and put it in as per original (i.e. the awkward way). This involved jacking the car chassis high up to get the holes to line up (with jiggling the steering a bit).

Feck orf Mr Brightside, the bloke's a plank!
Hhahahahahahahahahahaha.I'm far from being ****ed. This is a good solid car apart from the obvious rot. There's plenty of well-tried weld repairs that can be done here and I shall do them DIY.

as long as your happy.But you have paid well over the odds.I'm content with the purchase as the remainder of the car is good. It's also to maintain good rapport I have with my garage - Steve is sad to see this one go but I reassured him that this will return to his hands for maintenance, repairs and testing, so he'll still see it.
I value the rapport I have with my garage. We help each other out on all sorts of things relating to cars. This is how it used to be when you bought a new car - you bought into a long term relationship with the garage for the life of the car. It served both of you well. To have it today is rare.

As for a long term relationship..buy a budgie...it also squeaks constantly and then dies.
