My mates garage can weld but I dont trust him to do the strengthening properly and would rather use someone thats recommended 8)

Probably ringing round would be better, as you could talk to the people properly. Also, you can make the decisions for yourself, rather than relying on word of mouth

Dont know off top of my head who you could ask..

eeeeeeeeerm if your rallying it , i'd try and find a specialist.

[Mel]

I think its for everyday use..

[Nick]

says rally liscence in her sig!?

if it's for everyday use then theres no need to strenghen it really, unless the rust is bad. or if your doing an engine conversion ?

if it's rallying then you'l need all the seems stich welded. basically every visable seems in the engine bay and if your serious, the whole body needs to be welded up/together.

hunt around in techinical, im surei read some posts today and they had pictures/examples of someones stich welded bay in progress.

just Nova's at notthingham will do it. that's kinda SE. depends how far you want to travel

[jody]

yeah it will be rallied next year, i dont need an everyday car so instead of spending ?5K on doing it up for show we decided to have a different kind of fun with it :lol: , especially as we have the astra.

its not a requirement to have it strengthened but im the kinda person who thinks if you are gonna do it.....you might as well do it properly 8)

Yep i'd strengthen it, jst novas in nottingham will do it.

Anyone who's any good with a welder will beable to seem weld it. It's pretty obvious to see what needs welding !
