bennyk 1,238 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Very hard to put a price to rust repairs as you never know quite how bad it will be until you start cutting out metal, to do a proper job on a jacking point including the outer sill or section of it I'd think it'd be around the 8 hour mark labour wise plus panels materials etc. I would say to do a proper job (similar to what I did on mine) not just a lash up £300-£400 a side.

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 £300 sounds better than £400. I have cash waiting! :-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

isobarboy 25 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Luckily it seems a friend knowS a friend.... who is a welder! So I might be in luck for a job that works, doesn't need to look nice as gooing under trim and car in my opinion. And I 100% do not have 700 for a while knocking around . bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
isobarboy 25 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I am a very lucky boy. A friend of a friends misses can weld. And can get the metal. And will do it for free. Totally free not penny. So I saved 600 quid minimum. It's under the car and the trim. So it doesn't have to look amazing. She it's all systems go. HELL YEAH Link to post Share on other sites

HELL YEAHThat was a nice but of luck I'm fortunate myself that I have quite a few friends/contacts as I'm in the trade myself. My sills where done by a bloke who I know who restores classic cars think I paid £40 but I always end up giving him more to get a few drinks. Link to post Share on other sites
