HAVING TAKEN DELIVERY OF MY T25 PROJECT, MY FIRST THOUGHTS ARE "OUCH" LOADSA PANEL WORK, SILLS ETC DUE TO BODY ROT. THE OFFSIDE GUTTERS HAVE A 1 FOOT GAP WHICH HAS ROTTED AWAY. IS THERE ANY "EASY WAY" TO REPLACE GUTTERS OR IS IT A ROOF OFF JOB?

First thing before anything else TURN YOUR CAPS off its shouting on here !!! Best bet as for the gutters would be get a section cut out a scrapper and weld that in?

O.K. caps now off
. Is it a straight forward weld in place job? Can you buy lengths of guttering and do a full side?
No need for roof off then?

Having never done it wouldnt know but i have donew alot of welding to loads of different things it all depends on the finish you want really but roof off wont be easy at all plus bugger to get back on straight!!! i would got for as small a section as possible

Hi Billy. It was registered in march 1980. If it is the type 2 guttering, how can I tell? More importantly is it good news or bad news

not sure if its good or bad!
early stuff is more of a 'C' section , the later is more a 'U' chanel gutter!
the repair will depend on how bad the rust is?
how good a repair you want to do?
how much you can afford?
what skills / tools you have?
