Default Beware of the Project Car Gods

For those who believe in Karma, you may relate to my story below. After several days making good progress on my project car, I had small argument with my wife over something stupid and went back to my garage to cool off and work on the car.

What looked like a very small repair under the sill. (Only visible from under the car) No rust visible, but just suspicious small bubble about 5 mm diameter, but still thought must be repaired as didn't want it coming out later.

Turned out to be very poor repair by some previous owner where they had bashed in the rust and bogged over top. By the photos below I reckon they went through a small can of bog and even stupidly blocked a drain hole.

It is repairable but will set me back about a week. Moral of the story is always be nice to people because you never know who is watching.
