yerr it looked rather expensive, thats why i suggested finding another shell lol

Always take your car to council run MOT centres they cant carry work out on public cars but they do have to be open to public for MOTS, unlike 99% of garages they wont fail you on thinking they can make some money out of u. My car failed last year on track rod end balljoint guy showed me what was up so took it home sorted it and took back for retest next day he quickly looked at it and gave me a pass:) and this years didnt even get a advisory:) honest mate id really recommend council run centres for it when i see garages charging a tenner fo a MOTS i just think they are out to rob u on repairs lol. Cars looking nice:))

Yayyyy Car's Back Home On The Drive

Just Stripped The Scuttle Panel, Wiper Arms, Door Cards & Handles To Paint Now

Glad I Got The Bruise Back

Please could you let me know the details of the garage that did the welding?

My beast has failed MOT on a lot of rust and don't wanna break her up!? HELP!

Cheers

This is really old thread buddy where ya live at all

Chester.

Sorry to revive an old thread just hoping to save the car from being stripped

Cheers

Start a new thread saying what needs welded, we can't give advise on 'car needs welded'

For instance if the chassis leg are rotted its alot more work than a rusty sill or spring seat

its ok mate ur not to far from me and like johnny sez mate what u need welding and which part if Chester u from. Most garages can do welding but they do vary in prices there is a

garage by me which can do plates for £15 each which ain't bad on price

i bought my corsa gsi from chester

whats peoples thought on this are they really worth welding up

think mine is gonna need some soooon

It's really up to you, do you like the car enough to spend 100 welding it

Buying a gsi now you have to buy it as a project car it's to old to expect it not to be rotted somewhere
