Whats the three little holes near the bottom left of the pic by the drain hole Carlos? Looks like you've punched a nail through the floor! :-0

 

I don't actually know! I've never noticed them before!

They look like tears where the slinging bracket has been removed.

 

Might have to weld them Carlos. I know its a pain but will only get worse otherwise.

I've got a tiny bit of stone chip left, I can soon weld them and make the area look fine

I've been down to the garage (needed to shut the window anyway as I've been venting the fumes.

 

The holes go all the way through :( I'll sort them tomorrow, get it re-stone chipped and painted then it'll be wonderful!

Man I'm glad I spotted it for you, would have been nothing worse than painting it then realising afterwards. You should do a good visual check of the rest of the car just to make sure you haven't missed any other holes or niggles that would be easier to sort now, not later. Keep at it mate, it's looking really good, I can't wait to see it in colour :)

It took about 30 seconds to repair those holes.

 

Just waiting for the stone chip to go off so I can paint it.

 

Unfortunately the bloke next door is having a patio laid and it's a bit dusty out there so I'll have to have the door shut all day.

 

I'll prop the window open on the other side and all will be well
