I had to laugh at the comments on the Pimp my ride Minor as being 'very poor condition' - it was aesthetically poor (bad paint, rusted doors and rough interior) but stucturally well above average...
That PMR minor was in better nick than my daily driver!
Shame they didn't show any of the actual work on TV - I'd have liked to see them work on the sills and usual areas.
btw, I was actually expecting a post about brake shoes, given the 'fishy' title.

They didn't show it because they didn't do it! Sills, inner wings etc were all good.
It used to be my car - I'd even taken it to the Midland regional rally in Stoke. The bad bits (bad paint, rusted doors and rough interior) were VERY bad though! Apart from having to replace the doors and add disk brakes it was a perfect PMR donor car - mainly needing cosmetics (and boy did they do a beautiful job of it)

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
I like the fact PMR is up as 'educational material'...
Is rust infectious? My hands are turning red...
