Re: my new gsi 4x4 £400 bargin
you were prepared to do both inner and outer sills both inner and outer arches and whatever else you could see before discovering the floor needed attention so why give up on it now? you were going to do a course on welding and said there was no rush. Im no expert on welding but im sure the floor can be repaired

Re: my new gsi 4x4 £400 bargin
When you actually work out the cost of doing it yourself and buying the equipment to do it then £1000 really is a great price.btcctroy wrote:Give me a grand I'll rid the car of rust

£1400 in a solid gsi doesnt sound bad.

Re: my new gsi 4x4 £400 bargin
my mechanic who also dose welding said the bulkhead was rotten aswell he said the sri is solid and he would do what I did and srip the gsi and scrap the shell but this gsi will keep other cavs on the road with its parts it was too much and required too much money
