Default What would you do with an MOT failed S2??

Ok, it failed on 2 tyres, 2 shockies, new discs and pads, a new wing (rust) and 2 small bits of welding underneath. It comes to about £500 for the work and it's due for 10th November.

My choices are -
1) Try and find £500 from somewhere and get it MOTd (very difficult!)

2) Sell it as it is with MOT till 10th November to someone who has the time and perhaps expertise to do most of the work themselves instead of forking out for someone else to do it as engine, turbo etc are in great nick.

Any ideas appreciated

The right person would be able to mot that after spending 100 quid on new disks pads and shocks, the welding bit is free to someone welding at home, like me!
make some new friends that can weld quick!!

take it to another MOT test station. I had a car fail on about 5 things, took it elsewhere and it passed!!! some MOT stations don't know their arse from their elbow and are waaaay too strict.
