escortedal Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 good effort on that,the welding looks a bit harsh mind, but fair play to you for trying to repair it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer666 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 i went to the garage and they wanted 800 to 1000 pound to fix it the reason the welding looks tacky is i forgot to sand it down lol as my first time ever welding in my life i thought i did a quite a good job lol i got the front wing 2 bumpers spoiler and front head light and rear light and bonnet from the scrappy all for about 50 pound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circle8 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Because I wouldn't have thought it was worth the effort, when you can pick up a straight replacement for peanuts these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
