I thought I'd join in since I spend most my time of here reading up as much as I can.
I own a 52 plate SVT in silver with 77k on the clock and LOVE IT! I've owned a few cars but none have never put a smile on my face like my 5 :)
All I've done so far with it so far is changed the wheels over to some Rota slipstreams, done a full service on it and put a small reg plate on the front.

But its spent the last few weeks in my garage. Trying to sort the rear sills out, previous owner thought lots of filler would be a great idea, plus it seems they never cleaned the drainage ports out either :/
So far I've taken the O/S sill back to the shell. The steel was to thin and rotten to do anything with so it looks like I'l be welding a whole load of new stuff in it...

Does any one have any pictures of what the inner sills look like when they are being layered up, since most of the sill fell apart when grinding and cutting it back :(
On the plus side the N/S doesn't look as bad, I haven't been able to poke any holes in it so far and it jacks up fine so might just need a little bit of work (I hope).
Well that's it so far, plan to do the front chassis rails after the sills, they don't look too bad (well compared to what I have seen, they look good) but would rather get them sorted so no bad surprises later on. Then the boot, got a bit of rust near the lights. Then work on the suspension, new bushes (thinking IL Motorsport) and maybe MeisterR CRD coilovers and then underseal the whole car.
Then get it back on the road and enjoy it once again :)
