Newbie in Oxford. Need advice

[Pervolley]

Norwegian family in Oxford for 6 months. After some weeks without car I just had to go back home and bring the 110 TD5 with me to Oxford. 1600km, three days and now life is so much better.
I’m planning to change seats and quite some other parts on this old lady and without my own garage I am wondering how to proceed. Should I just take the car to John C or one of the other big ones and let them fix everything for me? Or should I let some other local garage get the parts and mount them for me? Will probably need some welding as well. What would you do?

Depends what needs doing most.

Welcome

Thank you.
Main priority: The door frames are rusty and I am not sure if I have to change the complete doors or if replacing the frame would be enough.
And with 3 kids under 10y we need high seats in the 2nd row with proper belts.
All other parts are just cosmetics.

Welcome to the forum

Start a new thread in the tratter section below. Post some pic's of the faults to allow peeps to see the condition. They will advise. Yer may be able to do some of the work yerself.

Tratters are easily stolen in the uk. Would be a good idea to upgrade the security and be careful where yer leave it.
