GETADOGUPYA! :lol: :lol:

You win :mrgreen: I wonder if you have ever encountered one in your citroen boat :P

A Papua New Guinean friend of mine was taught as a kid that when diving if you are ever approached by a shark to blow a 'raspberry' towards it.
I had such an experience whist doing a scuba course, and can assure you the raspberry didn't come out my mouth!!!

Back on topic:
It surprises me to see all the replacement sills and toe board with drainage holes in them... When I did my car I folded/made all the replacement sills, floors and toe-board myself and welded them all water tight with a good dose of cavity wax dropped in before hand.
What do the pro's do (you guys ;-))? Leave all the drain holes open and seam seal, or make it water tight?

Think chassis. Once water gets in it stays and ruin it. I drill drain holes in the chassis. Samme for pedal floor, floors and sills.

Yup, drain holes everywhere.
Back in my Morris Minor :oops: days, used to drill the sills 8 - 10mm @ each end and shove a big cross head screw driver in from underneath and 'lever' it backwards (under car, handle of screwdriver/bit of round bar/etc. toward rear) which pushed up the rear of the hole & forced down the front. This, allegedly, stopped spray getting into the holes as u drove along...
Just a memory popping up...

I got another half day on the Nurse.
Fitting repo panels to an already repaired and replaced a-series is quite the fiddle!
As I'm only replacing part of the sils the profile is different and needed a chop.

I found an old pic from 2008 when I jumped over the Grey Nurse on Cable Beach outside of Broome.

Pic was taken a bit early! I know the previous owner has a shot of me in the air above it somewhere. ..
