Had to drill some holes in the sills as well as iv had a problem with large amounts of water ingress from under the cross member.
Has improved the problem slightly, however one of the jacking points has rotted through which is annoying so will most likely be plating it up.
Cant see much out the mirrors but they look the business along with the wipers.
Had the wheels sitting around for about two years now, with the intention of refurbing them myself however it was too much of a challenge. So they sat for another year until a family friend mentioned he works in a metal processing plant thing and offered to get them painted gloss back and the metal polished back for a bargin £100.
Will post some pictures of the finish in greater detail soon.
