sorry to hear that jason, i know it need that bit of welding on the floor, i was amazed when you said it passed an mot without having it done!!!!, i think your welder may be trying to get extra dosh out of you cause i know it werent that bad, i would never had sold it if i new you were going to have bother with it!!!!, if your going for a total restoration job then yes it may need a few bits doing, but the car was a run around car for me and was never going to win 1st prize in a show and shine competition!!, well wether you decide to get the work done or not youve got far more dosh worth in parts  than what you bought it off me for!!!

not having a go at u m8..u werent to know. as for the welder hes a mate so wouldnt think he would try to rip me off put to much work his way.
oh well dont know what to do wether to restore or not.......need help getting panels any advice? not euro car parts but any other companys will do cheers
as vr6 said only got it for 300 and he can do the welding for a couple of hundred minus parts so i think i may go ahead....was more angry at the garage that did the mot, they should have picked up the floorpan was rotten at least.....dont think im gonna make it to newark tomorow but will make the next meet hopefully if the old girls back to her original glory
