    Default Welding

    I have to weld about 65 percent of my new car to get it through the MOT do you think its worthwhile or should I just sell it and get a Nova?

    It all depends were u need to weld m8, if its small patchs here or there then u may as well do em but if ur chassie legs are fecked or inner archs it would be as handy to find another 1!!

    This is if ur nova if just a base model, if its a gsi then it mite b with the hasle!!

    I have a Renault 5 GT Turbo. Welding needed on the rear arches and a lot of small patchwork too.

    Burbury. There's a cool site called renault5gtturbo.com Its very similar to this one and probably more use to you. As for your 5. What's the engine like? If the engine's knackered then its probably not worthwhile.

    When I had welding done on my Nova it worked out much cheaper if I had the work done as apposed to getting rid and getting a new car.
    mind you I paid more or less mates rates and had it cheap as...which obviously help my decision
