welding prices

[stainesy]

ok after close inspection looks like i may replace both outer sills on my mk3 golf.
if i supply the new sills how much should i expect to pay to have both of these replaced buy a welder?
also will i need to remove interior carpet for this job?

[dan_apps]

i would remove as a precaution personally, just roll back though not an all out job. welding wise depends on how bad the rot is but approx 80 - 100 locally is the going rate where i am +parts. full sill was around 40 quid iirc.

Why do you want to totally replace? They didn't look too bad in the pictures.

[stainesy]

ah right so im looking at about £100 per side for them to cut out and put a new sill on? thats not to bad then.

i thought i may as well just get 2 new sills as i want to put alot into this mk3 and make it spot on.
think i will go to a bodyshop 1st and see what they say about it. maybe just fabricate and weld up the holes.

Yeah probably best getting a body shops opinion first. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one.

Given the problems with mk3 sills i think most people will be watching with interest.

yeah thats my plan 1st.
not to sure what i am doing with this one but i no i need to loose the nasty wheels lol.
dont even no if they are vw or not.

looking at the pictures in your other thread they look ok and it just the ends that need sorting. i wouldnt go nuts and get the whole sills cut out.

I have just had mine welded up, both front inner and outer sills and floor pan, a hole in the drivers footwell and the rear floor both sides for £210.
