Bummer, but best thing I bought was my mig welder - love it...
Never welded before in my life, and now made so many things - its great!
When I was doing my checks, poked around in the front under the battery tray and my hand went through! Now all sorted, so better I found it than the MOT man.
I too fancy replacing my sills for box sections, but as you say its a summer job - and last year we never got one....
