hello all recently put my car 1990 ford xr3i in for pre mot test, it requires some patches on the sills, possible plate around fuse box area,
trying to find costs of how much it to have this work done re welding it seems not many people do this work if so very expensive??
i have no facilities garage/ drive to get my car offroad, i have done some modest mig welding about eight years back, but mainly with 14gauge new material and a proper workshop mig welder.
in local halfords they sell mig welders with small gas bottles etc, or i believe (gasless ) types exist but have no real idea if these would be any use for modest repair of sills etc.
considering welding thin gauge metal is not my forte.
my car due to cost has now been crushed.
on reflection i think i might have been hasty, not sure if mig welders can be hired ??? cheapo from halfords and attemted to do some minor (patching myself)
thank you
