UPDATE - Had an mot done on it to see what needs doing and it failed.
Basically the tester said he would recommend a whole new floor. What welding had been done is to a crap standard so he said if its gonna be done then do it properly.
Needs inner and outer sills both sides, inner wheel arches rear both sides, n/s inner wing front, both floor pans, boot floor,chassis legs.
He said its worth doing as the car is a 1 owner example (well, now 2 inc. me).
Thing is how much is that gonna cost me???? Im gonna fone around and take the car around to various places today. He gave me a number who specialises in this kind of work as the mot place quoted me a high number just dyue to the fact that they charge quite a lot of labour.(£45 an hour and about day and a half work). It also failed on a steering lock something missing on front arm(?) and a couple fo bulbs blown in the lights.
