xrmalin Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 scrap the rust bucket Are you joking your on about scrapping a car because it needs a new sill in the right persons hands they'll have it done inside a couple of hours the lads just spent loads on other things that have gone wrong whats to say if he buys another car its not going to be as bad id repair what youve got atleast you'll know in your head its done.If your not competent to weld it your self get the yellow pages out and ring round all the body shops/ accident repair centers in your area and get some prices but remember cheapest isnt always best if your alright with a screwdriver and socket set strip the car down yourself take it to be welded then put it back together yourself as that way you'll save money as your not paying the hourly rate of the bodyshop to strip and rebuild your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
