Club 80-90 Forums

Hi guys new to the forum and looking for a project t25 to buy.
I have found one fairly local to me but requires welding of which I know nothing about so wondering if this would be a whole panel replacement or if it could be patched?

Walk away. Already been filled and painted over. Swingarm is ready to part company. Find a better one.

yours will be at least as bad in the areas shown plus you have the dubious pleasure of at least one rear arm to do.
the areas shown have already been done once, rear arch replaced and maybe the side has an over sill fitted ,need to see the whole side, but either way will be even more of a problem now,
got picks of the other side and the other seams and front panel upper and lower , oh and where are you located
mm

Thanks for your replies, yeah I thought this might be the case obviously it's reflected in the price but think that's a bit much for me to deal with.
There's more photos on the listing -

I'm located in Herefordshire and thanks seems a good forum to help me along the way.

Thanks itchyfeet that's summed it up for me haha.

I will continue my hunt for a van.

Our trailing arms had done that too Good ones are very hard to find and extremely expensive ... and that's not talking about all the parts to rebuild them (bushes, brake parts that fall to bits as you try to undo them, etc etc) Then you start on the bodywork

I think Brickwerks will be selling new one soon and at a reasonable price.

That's great ... I traded a s/h gearbox for 2 brand new ones. What does 'reasonable' mean in Derbyshire Pounds though ?
