Forgot to mention something scary though. I jacked the rear of the car up, but he'd had a tiny bit of a scrape on that side. Just as I was about to crawl my fat belly under the car to have a look, the sill collapsed where the lifting pad was. It was rotten as a badgers but! Good job I wasn't under it at the point!
I moved the jack to the front of the car and that jacking point was fine and solid, but there is now a big hole in the rusty sill at the back. Looked fine on the outside but man, was it rotten!
I also got him to take the chromed mirrors off, so if anyone needs a replacement chrome bullet mirror, he's got a couple.
