Ok slightly drastic action but then the car has not MOT and is just sat up for a few months anyway.

Had a rear door leak issue with standing water along the door sill, changed a few bits on the door etc but still not fixed, also previous owner had spilt some coke down the handbrake area and due to the car being sat up and damp the mould started to grow....

So today was going to be getting the seats out and to clean it all up..... well so I thought..

Found a lovely hole in the floor pan, unsure how it happened but can only assume something happened with it's previous owners as I haven't ever jacked it up that side, I am wondering if someone used the floor pan as a jacking point.

Ah well at least I was out in the sunshine!

Wow !

That's a scary big hole in the floor :(

how long did it take you to strip the carpet out like that, great lengths to clean up that coke

Was about two and a half hours, I think didn't pay too much attention to the time was enjoying the sunshine!

Pfft - my Golf had one I could fit my Gorilla-sized hands through!

I saw a smilar hole on a 3 month old Fiat some years ago. It was caused by running over a lump of metal in the road.
