Ah, I read it as the car was sagging and was wondering why it was a happy day!

I took the carpets out today as they were still soaked from the flood water! I'll give them a proper clean with the jetwash and let them dry properly. They don't smell too fresh!

This car is a rough old dog but it has some memories in it. Some dents in the wing where I stood in it when climbed out of the window in the flood

Some dents in the sill from when I did some jobs on it a decade ago. I think it slipped off the jack, can't remember exactly!

A neighbours guest drove into the drivers door. Nobody admitted it but it could only have been hit from their drive. It wasn't the neighbours car though, I measured the height of that!

This must be an ancient accident repair. There has been a crack here for several years but now a hole at last!

Later steering wheel added. This car shouldn't have an airbag. Bits used to fall off the original one, it was a horrible thing. I'll fit an earlier one at some point.

Mice have been at the screenwash lid but I can't see any other rodent damage!

Both passenger doors were kicked in outside the pub one night several years ago. I knocked them out and they were presentable enough. Then when we took custody of it I scraped both door on the bumper of my Shogun and knocked them out again...

My other half reversed into a lamppost and stoved the rear wing in. I knocked it out mostly, leaving this crease

Then after the Range Rover hit it, I knocked it out again!

The wheels aren't to my liking but I bought a 405 off Cavcraft which died not long after. These wheels were on it with very good tyres so would be a shame not to use them

Strange mark on the sill has been there for years. Must have been worn away by getting in and out of it so many times or maybe it was an old accident repair

Random wheels are on it now as the tyres were flat but you can see the hammered out rear wing. I repaired it about 13 years ago after a Range Rover hit it. Then after the second Range Rover hit it, I just knocked it out

Original seats got replaced a few years ago, the fronts were getting quite worn an the drivers was uncomfortable. I bought a scrap 306 off the local nutjob (robbed the local garage at knifepoint and various other crimes) Delightful fellow but his car was cheap. He had to leave the area after spitting on a baby. But anyway, here are the seats...

The supplying dealer. Wonder if it's still there?

Oh and while the interior was out I thought I may as well clean the fuel pick up gauze out. Glad I did, it was full of black snot

Bloody hell that poor old car has some battle scars now. It was a minter when I bought it! That old repair has taken many years to come through, I don't remember ever seeing it. Pretty sure it didn't come from Overdrive, the place I got it from had literally put it on the Trader that morning and only just got it in so I'd have been surprised if they'd stuck the sticker in it.

I wouldn't you'll only worry yourself. You don't ride in the back anyway.
