Cheers guys. Charged £100 in the end due to unforeseen rust circumstances.
I was there to oversee things as this is the welders first T25 and I have amassed some knowledge from this site :D
Oh and I did cut a few bits of metal before he shaped it :ok

I just get a message: 'Forbidden'. I can't see how to log on.

Can't this album be published to 'the public' instead of making it private ?

PS. In fact its only the first post that I can't view the pics, the others are OK.

Cheers Ben, that will help me with the next part I need to do, fit new rear quarter. The previous owner made a right hash of it and left me with metal missing left, right and center.
Anyways thanks again for the pic and good luck finding your missing bits.
