£18k maybe but I bet it was £60k when new. Up to you mate but i’d be making it look smart to the untrained eye and jogging on anyone who came round fussing over a neat and tidy but not “manufacturers spec” repair. Good luck with it.
When I was a boy any reference to a Lez at school was an insult that referred to a female who preferred the company of other females to males.
How times have changed!
