Boss is a welder, he might be willing to do it for some beer tokens.

have had a chap tell me he charges per patch and then he did that intake of breath that a lot of mechanics do just before they make you sign your soul away. may get the car over to a chap who quoted a mate £35/hour.
can drive it to be welded as it still has tax and insurance and so is covered for mot work as long as it's booked in!
i am at  horsford just off A140 near norwich airport.

What a shame your not near Brum, I do quite a bit of welding now for mudclubbers (BOC qualified), do it cheap as well as it is done part time now. £35 is not bad but if you can get someone to do it away from work as it were you should be able to get it done for about £20 to £25 pr/hr
