To repair that properly just isn't economic, hence it being shifted on 'as is'.

I can see someone buying it and because of the MoT exemption (it's 45 years old now) will run it as it stands until something breaks or too many bodily parts fall off due to corrosion then they'll ring Flying 8 and offer it up as an organ donor and get what they can for it.

Going back 60 years my father bought a secondhand Austin A35 van from the local garage in the next village to us. All immaculate in the Austin green of the time. Now anyone familiar with an A35 will know that the sill comes down vertically from the door and then bulges out in a nice rounded shape before disappearing under the floor pan. A few months after purchase the sills started to crack and upon investigation the whole length of the sill - on both sides - had been packed with bake bean tins laid end to end. The said tins had then been overlaid with damp newspaper and then encased in Isopon. Father then had to have two new sills welded on and a proper repair carried out, which cost more than the purchase price.

Also the resourcefulness of that repair, it must have taken him longer to do the 'bean can' repair than a proper cill replacement, he didn't buy it from Yorkshire did he?? All this 'browsing' just gets me in a pickle, as I've found this little bundle of trouble a few days ago, that I'm trying to ignore, but it does seem to say buy me, and must be worth a look as its not a million miles away.... https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1707306 Somebody talk some sense into me.....
