Welding help!!!

Post by matty74 » Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:17 pm

Hi guys. Ive just brought myself a lovely sj413 samurai. I took it to a garage the other day for a pre mot check and have been told that it needs alot of welding.

Off side rear and near side rear end sills - Corroded & Holed
Off side inner sill - Corroded & Holed
Off side front and rear, Near side front and rear inner wheel arch - Corroded & Holed
Off side and near side rear floor - Corroded & Holed

Does anyone know roundabouts how much this should cost to get repaired before i go and get some quotes?? Or can anyone help with this themselves??

Any help will be greatly appreciated!! :salute:

Unfortunately it varies wildly, depending on if they need the work (or don't want the hassle) the best bet is to take it to a few garage's (the more the better, small one's may be cheaper) and get a range of quote's.

Personally looking at what you've said easily a few hundred I'm afraid :( £300/400+ If you have any friends or friends of friends that are half decent hobby welders, might save you a couple of quid, but there's a a lot of work there... or Jump in a learn yourself a new skill always comes in handy, borrow a friends mig and just pay for the consumables?
