Awesome fella, you learn something everyday! Appreciate all the info.....

Two/ three nations divided by a common language.

Rockers = sills
Quarters = wings
Firewall = bulkhead
And don’t get me started on the trunk and hood weirdness...

My knowledge of the terms comes from spending much too long watching car shows from the UK, US and Aus.

Current faves are on UTube such as Project Binky, the Mongrel (Ford 100e grafting onto a MX5), MCM and Skid Factory.

I was in the states once and over heard someone in a parking lot talking about a "deflationary situation" whilst pointing at his rear tyre !

Lol. I love the term disassemble quoted on such shows as Fantomworks. What’s wrong with the good old fashioned “tear down”.
