I'm of the same opinion, I suspect that it is the areas of the bodyshell that have corroded not the actual bolts, if you can't weld or don't know someone who can then be prepared to assume the position because it will not be a cheap fix.

That's the reason I didn't try to MOT my old jimny this year, all 8 body mounts rotten along with rear crossmember, inner and outer sills. Front and rear would be weldable but there's no access to the middle ones especially the ones in front of the rear wheels. It's a lot of work for an experienced I'm afraid.

Thanks guys for the feedback - I've attached the mot for clarification - the exhaust is no worries, I have a cherry bomb on the back (which passed last year!?) so could get a back box for a retest, the coil spring is easily replaced, and I can take the tow bar off (this was on last year too).
Its the mounting issues that are the ball breakers!! If it is fixable, I'm presuming it is it a body off job for welder access?
Time to build a beach buggy perhaps?

Reading that and with you saying you can't weld I would seriously be looking for a new one because garage prices for all that will be more than it is worth. Alternatively if you have other transport I would think about taking it off the road for a few months and doing a welding course at the local night school and do it yourself but even so it will be a lot of work , especially without a workshop and ramp.
