Hi,

Two days ago a neighbour slid into the os corner of my mk6 Escort Van,

Now the insurers say it will cost £619 to repair and don't want to do it,

so they have offered either £700 for the van or £619 and i keep the van, and it doesn't get written off

I think i'll take the £619 and fix it myself

i can see it needs a headlight/indicator, front bumper and wing

My only question is are the wings welded on? if so whereabouts?

Thanks
James

 

yes along the top at bottom near sill and behind the bumper, if u take the splash graud off there will be 2 10mm or 13 mm bolts

 

Ok, thanks

Do you think a 6mm spot-weld drill would be good for drilling them out?

Thanks

 

aslong u center punch the spot welds if it dus'nt drill hole weld just chisel rest off

 

Just that i could buy a 8mm or 6mm bit.

Just womderingwhich would be better

Thanks
James

 

8mm then mate
