thanks everyone for their comments - they're all on the money
That looks painstaking
- some times it definitely was - I think the worst for me was after a 4 hour stint under the car in a space about 2 foot high grinding back all the welds under the floor - everytime I thought I'd finished I found something else
- then ended up at the eye specialist getting a piece of metal out of my eye.

Aaahh the memories, I had a similar experience. While grinding under the car a bit got in behind my safety glasses so off to the doctors who failed to get it out followed by casualty where they succeded.
