The bloke did it for £100 all in.
He schultzed all the repair underneath as well, sealed all the joints with that white rubbery joint sealer. :blush: Whatever it's called?
He didn't cut it all out and butt weld the repair patches in. He, as asked by me, just plated over every thing, including seat mounts as I'd no intention of putting them back in.
He cleaned it up from underneath and welded bits and bobs before the Schultx went on.
He needed to drop the fuel tank a couple of inches so he could get an heat resistant blanket over it.
To cut the panels out and butt weld new ones would probably have been going up to the £200 mark, perhaps?
I have been told that the £100 was cheap, even for how he did it.
One tip though. Cover your side window glass and perhaps the rear door glass as any weld splashes could stick to the glass and when scraped off, leave little burn 'dents' in the glass. :S
