Matt_H:
mine failed last week :-(  I was welding in the dark the night before, putting some extra brackets on the outer sills to hold the rear body panels on better as the original mounts had long fractured.  Also did patches over a couple of holes as well as a few other bits n bobs... what did she fail on..

Headlights - no beam pattern, reflectors corroded
Windscreen wipers - not working.
Steering shaft bushes warn

Hmmmphhhh, the first two were annoying as I'd done the aim best I could, and the wipers worked fine....Turned out to be a loose nut on both wiper arms!

To add insult to injusy the transfer box is now leaking oil :-(

--- Quote from: "hobbit" ---Lee, did you use any seam sealer on it after welding or just coat it up with paint/underseal?

so far 4 evenings, it may not be smooth and perfect, but it only cost me 5 quid to do it for some sheet metal and a couple of quid for paint!!! :(contented): it will go in next weekend ( i'm suppost to be going to play on the weekend after! [-o<  [-o<  [-o< )

xmob:
It failed.   :(

Wasn't too bad though:

Holed rear cross member.
OS outer sill (which I knew about)
NS Wiper blade
NSR Number plate light


All in all, it's fixable.
