It's all good just make the resulting space up with old bits of newspaper and filler - perfectly acceptable
Its stronger than rust isn't it!

You utter cowboy:nono: Everybody knows that to effect a permanent and structurally sound repair you should use a wire mesh and fibreglass mix under the filler. Have you never read the instructions on an Isopon packet!It's all good just make the resulting space up with old bits of newspaper and filler - perfectly acceptable
I'm pretty sure once on blue Peter they built an entire car out of sticky back plastic :idea:
That's just adding more weight!
I am a builder after all - I suppose the next suggestion should be expanding foam :thumbup:

Panda traveller - replace rotten metal with wood
Surely concrete would be best, after all you make buildings out of it so it must be pretty strong.
good time to start welding John

You can give me lesson
Dad used to weld with big sticks - always fascinated me, though it used to scare me silly with the sparks and noise from the unit - it was like been in Frankensteins lab - but on a farm in a tin shed.
the sound of a welder is the song of my people mate!
yeah working on cars, if you have to use a stick welder.. you need the smallest sticks you can get and the lowest amps.
my advice is, if you get the sisley cheap enough.. invest in a mig welder.
you will never look back and think "damn its so useless why the hell did i buy it".
you will however feel like you have the power to create anything.
secret to a good weld is to clean the metal you are welding first.. no paint or any other impurity.
a real lazy way to weld with a mig welder is to just rest the shroud (end of the welding gun) on the bit you want to weld, pull the trigger and slowly draw the gun back following the path you want to weld. you find better methods as you progress in your totally epic new method of creation by high amps and lots of sparks!
try not to get carried away... when welding it is easy to do as you get to a point where it becomes quite enjoyable.. almost therapeutic.

I couldn't find mine so...
...he's a nice little three door. For some reason only the five door version was sold in the UK.

The Daihatsu Cuore Turbo had a four cylinder 660cc engine and is about four inches wider and six inches taller than the Vivio. The Justy was huge in comparison. I'll see if I can find the photo's of mine when I get home.
My wife has a daihatsu cuore (not a turbo) I will check dimensions later
Vernon can put the A frame away and rest easy - I didn't win it - outbid by a fiver!
Bit of a relief really as only way to fund both projects would've been to sell the mk3 which would have tipped mum off I was up to something
It is my birthday soon, I shall ask for another parking permit for the drive.

Now in Minehead; and with a different seller. Appears to be £495 BIN... -- possibly....
Excellent! Don't mind someone cleaning a car up and trying to make a small profit
better than a scrapie getting it. First seller should have spent a couple of hours on it and might have got more money. It's a shame it's not got the proper 4x4 wheels though

Who's he trying to fool really, that's a disgrace. I bet he told yhe guy he bought it off that it was going to be done up and made perfect again too!
I am presuming that it is a 'he'

hmm, funny how cleaning something adds £150..
bet that covers transport costs. bought it, saw it had some "issues" and thought sod that.
still, it really looks good in red.. really good.
