 There's beer with your name on it if someone around glasgow can help me with a little welding job. I bought a Chrysler Neon (RT) as a fixer upper and it had a bit of accident damage on the back of the sill. I've pulled the dent out with a slide hammer, which meant drilling a couple of holes in it. Now I could just fill it with liquid metal and bosh some filler on it but I'd rather get them welded up and do it properly. The problem is I don't have a welder or know how to weld. It's all prepared and the holes are maybe 5mm across below the rear door. Here's the shed in question.  |

A good dollop of primer first and then a bit of filler, would probably do less damage than welding! do i get a beer now?  |

I was going to fill the holes with liquid metal then filler over it but I thought welding it up would be better. Maybe I'm better going with liquid metal if the weldings going to be messy. Here ye' go  |

I'm just down the road in troon. What do you drive and i'll keep an eye open for you? I've thought about buying a welder but it would just encourage me to buy a rustier car to have something to weld.

Give this site a go. It's like a reverse ebay for delivery. You put in were you want the car to be picked up and were you want it delivered to then various delivery companies/mans in vans bid for your business. It takes a few days for the low bids to come in but I was looking to bring up a mk1 Cav from down south a while back and the price I ended up with was very reasonable. I didn't end up buying the car though. www.shiply.com/ |
