Any welder worth their salt will be able to repair it for you, the longest part is the stripping out and prepping ready for the welding, so do that yourself and save a packet.

Once it is prepped its a few hours at most to weld it up.

The main floor is available in many places including Paddocks and YRM solutions, the rear wings I believe will have to be fabricated, so an offer like Boss's makes sense. It does depend how bad they are mind, I was able to patch mine satisfactoraly.

Hi Boss

I'd be interested in the passenger side one if it was available.
Would you be willing to post ?

cut them out today, both rust free from what i saw but i still got to check them over properly.

posting is doable. made the offer to LORRY first but if he/she doesn't want them then there yours :afro:

not after much for them but enough to make up the time that was taken out of my day removing them neatly instead of the standard removal technique
