how much welding ? what actually needs doing ?
have you asked the MOT garage for a price to do all the work ?
being a manual ,you'd probably get your £305 you paid back if you sold it rather than scrap it
if it only requires a few hundred to fix ,that would be cheaper than buying another car,which you will probably have to spend a few hundred to fix anyway
Welding required both sides rear wheel arches and sills; complete exhaust, cat sections, central sections, back box, and probably lambda sensors too; new brake pipe rear right required. Then it has to pass emissions test. A lot or work on a car that will probably fail MOT again next year.
You think it might sell? Here it is.
I have the sills. Buyer collects from BA3 2LP, Midsomer Norton, Somerset. MOT expires April 14th 2019.It's a 2.5 petrol manual estate, perfect drive, nothing wrong with it, in MOT submission trim. Offers over scrap value, about £80. At the moment it has a Panasonic radio/tape player/CD player with 12 CD magazine.
