Not on Ebay but WTF!

Just having a nose about on autotrader, as you do sometimes and came across this. Looked ok until the last picture.

That welding. Wow .....

He could have hit it with a flap disc first.

Me: "What are they talking about? It isn't that.........bloody hell."
Well, at least it's an honest picture.

Here's hoping, but maybe it was hit with a flap wheel and tidied up, anti-corrosion treated and undersealed before the sill went back on?
So they might have put that picture up as the most honest picture (and only picture) they had, but isn't representative of the finished condition?

Trying to assume people's positive intent and all that...

Fair point about been honest about it. But, if someone presented that to me on my car I wouldn't be happy. It looks truly awful.

They seem to being honest about it , but if I were selling it I would have a sperate file of photos showing the repair from beginning to END. That's the important bit , the end of the repair in all it's professionally executed glory.

Many are unaware of how the process of cutting and welding looks and the single photo they show there would scare anyone away.
