Is this foot worth repairing?

catman275 · Dec 13, 2018

Hi All,
Based on cost of replaceing with new, against cleaning and welding in a couple of patches.
There are two places that need cutting out plus gnawed metal which the tin worm has munched a bit.
1983 series 3.
Worth repairing?
As well as that. How would you reconnect it to the pillar? There were 15 spots holding it together.... plug welds or seam?
cheers Peter

new would be better but its repairable and plug weld it ie replacing the old spot welds

Buy new saves you time and effort and a lot of swearing

, I've got two new foot wells put in today from good ol' eBay

If a magnet still sticks to it, it can be repaired. If you can be arsed.

Hmm, I think "can't be arsed" is the deciding factor. Thinking about cleaning all the inside up makes me looks towards new ones.
They can be repaired.but they would look better in the council scrap bin.
New ones it is. I should have got them when I bought the floor panels and pillars, and top corner repair panels.from YRM.
I'll wait for the new, before I dump the old ones just make sure they match up with the measuments.
Good quality looking parts.
cheers for now

Peter
