a warning to any 1st time buyers!

[patricklambert]

well as you know iv got my 1st mog i got a bit more than i expected as it had the rust very well hidden under everything from filler, chickenwire and even expanding foam! so just beware as i CAN FIX this as im not to bad at welding and shaping metal. so please be carful especially if you cant weld as i expect all this damage will cost a serious ammount of££££ to fix in a garage!

Yep good old expanding foam. The sills in my pickup were made of this although the bloke came clean and told me about it.

The saloon that I had that cought fire a few years back had had all sorts of biscuit tin riveted to it and filled over. after the fire all the bodges were easy to see!

blimby! my sills were made of this to! iv got some nice sheet metal to make new parts as i dont have the money to buy the proper parts unfortunatly iv estimated miles of mig welding wire

[hotrodder13]

i thought mine was bad i just need a new rear end ( rear wings, inner wings front and back, boot floor and bit below the boot lid) all i can say it make sure you check everywere

forgot to add mine were all hidden by flashband stuck on

[patricklambert]

blimby! im going to take my time as i want it to be nicely finished even though im going to be using sheet metal so its not gna be perfect!, i did take a good look round but maybe not good enough! lucky i enjoy this sort of stuff lol

[bmcecosse]

How on earth did it get an MOT ?

[rossrox]

one of my friends at work warned me about this, he said take a weakish magnet to the doors, wings, sills....

[patricklambert]
