The floors all welded and looking really good , I'm so excited now I can carry on with the restoration, he only charmed me £60.

That don' sound to bad if it' only sills and arches. Got my new panels from a place in malvern cos mine were so far gone there was no chance of salvaging them. .

Theres a fair bit to weld as well I was pleasantly surprised at how much he quoted, the only other quote i had was for £2000.. How much you got to weld on yours chris m ?

Finally got a quote for my welding, £400-600, best news I've had in a while. Floor being done this week the rest being done when my parts arrive..

Yeah they been driving me mad, just couldn' get them all in properly, so I've decided to have a rest from them and wait till its welded today.

So far today I've replaced a wheel cylinder, tried to replace the brake shoes but had a nightmare doin it. Grazed knuckles and a few tantrums later I've failed completely, the bloody springs have me completely flumoxed.

Will do thanks, if the weather stays good this weekend is gonna be busy .

Thanks Greg, I didn' know there were 3 layers of steel on the front, you learn something new everyday. I'l be clearing all the green stuff off on the weekend so the guy can see better before he quotes for the job. Ordered the arches and sills yesterday so they'll be here in a few weeks, and if this guys not to bad or expensive the resto can crack on a bit more, fingers crossed for a positive response, if not I think it's gonna be sold onto a more willing owner.

these are 2 pictures of the hole in my floor and where it is located, can anyone say what they would think it would cost to weld this up as I have no idea and dont want ripping off, much appreciation and many thanks for advice..

Also found a place in malvern for the arches and sills, today' getting even better...

I'm in leicestershire andy, the guys coming out on Monday to look and quote for welding the floorpan, if its good enough I'll let him do the other jobs that need doing on it.

So finally, after a few months it looks like I might have a willing person to do my welding for me. I was beginning to think I'd never get it done, so hopefully a week on Monday I might have some pics to put up showing the work so far...

Ok thanks.

Oh thats fantastic its not a million miles from me, are the dates the 14 / 15 of July Greg ?

Will there be a spares day this year please ?

Where will the venue be for the meeting as wanting to go.

Everyone deserves a second chance Ian but don' do it again..lol.

Im looking for outer sills both sides, both outer arches and lower valance on back, the floor pan is right next to the subframe mount.

The front passenger side footwell needs doing , other than that the usual welding of sills wheel arches and rear lower valance

I'e got a tent you can use and probably £100 for fuel should be enough , all that' left is your quote for the welding, lol.

I'm due a holiday I can bring it up to ya. Lol..

Hi Tony, im in leicestershire .

Thanks I hope so to, thankfully I've just about finished wire brushing the underneath so I can concentrate on the other jobs that need to cleaned, I may start on the engine bay .

Well as usual things don't go quite to plan the project was to get the welding and mot done before Christmas , may have been a bit ambitious but I thought it was do able obviously not. Now work has died off completely and no money means no work gets done to the car, I don't want to strip any more parts off until I can afford to fix it, so the plan now is to research and read up about the work I plan to get done, fix the problems that won't cost money and generally fettle about in the engine bay.

Am excited about doing it my self , but also getting impatient
