Anyone fancy a bit of welding? Boot floor.

YORKIE_GAV · Feb 9, 2010

Cheeky maybe but does anyone from up round me fancy welding me in a new boot and boot crossmember. If it was just a bit of patching i'd teach mesen and gi it a go but it's the whole floor round the edge plus the rear most crossmember.
I'd sort ya out plenty of beer tokens of course.

that pic brings back memories

Think it will for a few people

Looking at it again i think it'll need fromt crossmember and the side sections the floor sits on too

how much do ya wanna pay ?
are you stripping the interior carpets/panels out ?
are you suppling the floor panel ?
how far do you want to go with the finnishing paint work ?
the side bits and cross members are easy enough to sort out

Been looking through some threads and it seems simple enough even the side pieces, so if worst comes to worst i'll gi it a shot.
If someone wants to do it i'll strip it out ready, supply all the bits and finish it afterwards. It'd just litteraly be the welding and maybe a bit of preping the edges to be welded.
As on price aint got a clue. Dont know how long it'd take so dont k now how much it's worth to someone.

EDIT: Just seen ya pics and realised its your pics i been looking at from a thread at start of jan, some nice work.

Aye the bits the floor sits on that run from side to side.
I know and i doubt any round me would do it at all, they dont like out that takes em any time cause they can make more from lots of little jobs.

vivnap · Feb 9, 2010

give me some idea of what ya would be happy to pay and ill see what i can do. im not out to rip any one off

YORKIE_GAV · Feb 10, 2010

Well ya know us Yorkshire lads are tight as arseholes so hows a tenner and a 4 pack of larger sound

Nah in all seriousness if it were gona cost more than £150-£200 its prob worth me getting a welder and teaching myself as no doubt my sills will be going before too long.
Actually thats a point, need to get them plastic sill covers off and have a proper look, looks solid enough but ya never know what they're hiding.

So there's a ballpark figure for ya, so let me know if i'm taking the **** or not.

if you strip out the rear seats, the two boot seats and panels so ive got a clear run at it then £150 will get it sorted out for you. the cross bearers and side repair bits i have fabricated at a local steel place, they cost about £20 for the lot.

when will you want it doing ? i reckon a day will see it done if you are sorting out the repainting of it.
pm me if that is ok for you and i can give you me phone number

150£ sounds good and no doubt your be able to trust him rather than a garage.

You could buy a welder for about £100 second hand that would be up to the job. just have to learn how to use it?

YORKIE_GAV · Feb 10, 2010

Aye think we've got a deal. Damn sight better than anyone near me will do it for and i been looking at some of his work and it looks spot on.
Dont think i'd trust it if i'd ave done it mesen, would of forever been thinking it was gona give way

but the card ive got is real sturdy and will look right good once ive glued in position, he wont ever know

paper may look good but it will sag when it gets wet
