Hi Peter,
Thanks for the greeting! I got the saloon home today, reg mark is FLX 275J, was covered in green slime but now looking much better after a 3 hour session with the pressure washer. The estate is still at the back of the barn, don't have the reggie yet (sorry)!
I took a number of pics today when I got home, but will have to wait until I've time to load them.
I had a good probe around today with a screwdriver and it appears that I need a pair of wings, rear of the n/s sill, 2 tennis ball sized patches under the rear seat, a similar one in the o/s rear wheel well, and a 6"x3" patch in the boot floor, so perhaps not so bad! Inner wings have been patched behind the hinge, she has her own sills, floors and rear arches which surprised me, oh and they both have toughened screens so it looks like I'll be ordering a batch of laminated ones from the manufacturer, I see someone here is already doing rubbers, which is good.
I'll start a rebuild thread just now and let you see how I'm doing, your input is always welcome!
Best,
Mike
