Needs the seat belt anchor points front and back welding also all suspension mountings excessively corroded plus Steering rack mount Corroded

Also failed on 4 tyres due too splitting / cracking, windscreen washer provides insufficient water, o/s windscreen wiper not operating over a large enough area

so thats the fails :shock:

In fairness mate there's quite abit of welding. Wouldn't suprised me if it cost a couple of hundred plus...

All joys mate. I need new floor pans, both rear arches, a boot floor and the sills haha
