I will tell you what it cost when I have paid the bill and taken pics of the finished job OK, I am as interested as you are, Rick

it looks a bit fiddly but not too bad if you have room to work

Thats my problem, I can weld as well as anyone when I have room and can get my head at the right focal distance for my glasses, but under there and largely on by back, no way any more, even with the advantage of a lift, I would find it hard, Rick

Well good luck with it Rick, hope you get it sorted quickly and cheaply.
Regards
Phil

All cleaned up and ready to go in tomorrow, I have even sand blasted all the weld areas as I want good welds here, as below, Rick

Well picked the old T2 up this evening, all done including a new MOT two advisories, both front tyres near legal limit, what I can see from the outside the welding looks good, but need to get under in the daylight to see properly, and of course it is covered in under seal, will get some pics as soon as, but whatever £230 all in, I am well pleased, Rick

Sorry forgot about pic, taken one this eve in the dark, looks OK had a bit of a hammer about and feels good, so there you go welding and mot plus vat £230, as said before well happy and no backache, has to be good, Rick
