Bodge it and scarper been at it again, managed to remove all sealant on friday night, borrowed one of them mbx wheels but found air comp could not keep up, so resorted to good old twisted knot wire wheel! did the trick.
Got passenger side floor cut out and bodged back in while bob was stripping front struts and cleaning.
