Fuel & Brake pipes were done for MOT last January

OK, so Mav has been "Off the Road" for a few weeks whilst attempting welding repairs, I finally got it all back together and tried to start it up. However it took ages and numerous attempts to get it to tick over. I took it for a run of a couple of miles and it seemed to clear. I thought the...

I'm pretty sure it would all go back on, I made a mistake and cut through the side mounts of bumper to insert thinking it needed to be seperated!!!!Doh:( I also took headlights out, which I didn't need to:augie Hey! you live and learn right? So it actually only needed the 4x 17mm mounting bolts...

Front bumper insert, Right hand, Drivers side.

T'other side.

One Side.

New Pic's of Welding needed Front end off

Sorry, was that to me or Bloat? Or both?

I got the same problem. Did it take much to get the front gubbins off to get at it? Can you put up pictures as you repair the rest please? Shame you can't get any repair panels for the front corners, it would be easier just to cut them out and re-weld new ones in. There is a company on ebay who...

So, if I don't fix it and just sell it, whats it worth? 1996 Ford Maverick 2.7 TDi 8 months MOT, everything Good except for photos New Battery, Tyres, Exhaust,.....

Hey! Well Spotted. With Two bottles full of Gas it looks like a good deal?

I just spotted what looks like a good buy on "Pre-Loved" Waiting for the guy to tell me whether its 3x phase or single as it didn't say in the ad! http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/107855436/mig-welder.html

Right way up, worst bit is the plate at the rear, but the steel is really thin as paper, I think they must have used old tin cans! You can see the Radiator mount just sticking through on left of picture

Actually it doesn't, the pictures are deceiving. It passed MOT (after new Brake & Fuel pipes) so obviously it can't be too bad. It's mainly in the corners and about 6" back and 4" across the front. The cross member isn't as bad as it looks either, it's only bad on one side, the front thats under...

Not entirely sure what I need! I know gassed is better than "No Gas" but not sure about amps etc.......

Need a Mig to do some repairs on my Mav Near Malvern in Worcestershire would be a bonus!

So, would 1.2 be thick enough for the side corners? There's a supplier on ebay who offers to bend it to any shape included in the price. I can get box section & angle iron to do the front cross member no problem. I am seriously thinking of giving it a go, even though I have physical problems. I...

Well, it's a 96, but it's not as bad as some I've seen! And no, it didn't come from the coast!

Well, we're talking about a Mechanic at £50. per hour!

MOT was Christmas just gone. I may have a go at getting bumper off and have a good look.
