until the car has a bump up the back and everything crumples as the structure of the wood is compromised you would not laugh if some one slapped a baked bean tin on a chassis leg so why do the same with the wood

Sorry for sounding so stern.

Tell your mate that he is a fool for playing with someone elses life. The woodwork is STRUCTURAL! i.e. what your mate has just done is pretty much as bad as filler on a chassis leg!!!


if hes handy with a jigsaw he could probably make a replacement section in under an hour and have it fitted in another hour or 2.


Sorry if ive offended by what ive said but the fact of the matter is, its a bodge and a dangerous one at that.
