With that amount of work to do I would seriously think twice about repairing it tbh
Will cost at least three times what a decent shell and paint would cost.

It's not an easy choice, it's all down to the saftey of the shell, my mate has been through thatcham courses for quality and such so I'll go on his word.The car is really special to me for various reasons but if it's unsafe to repair it then it'll have to go :(
Reshell it then, get a gsi shell to do it into if you can
Seeing as you have had it for long it would be shame for it not to go back on to the road
Tbh Edd if I can't keep the CGG plate I wouldn't want it, I'm one of these odd folk that will choose the stupid and unlogical route, longcut for a short cut and all that,
if I can repair it then it'll be a fooking epic job lol
I had a really bad week so maybe it's just a case of half empty?
That and my mates GTE astra has been waiting a year for his let engine back, so the 2 are sitting side by side looking very sad.
Bloody hell lol thats alot to weld! Should be called the "Cut & Shut" project lol
Patchwork quilt lol
I must be aff ma heid to even want to repair this.
looks good mate.Quote:

I would need the CGG car to have an mot then put it on retension then transfer when the new car has a current mot,
I had my mate look at it, he reckons if the panels and chassis legs are properly replaced then it should be ok, but it's a big job to take on. I'll need about a million spot weld drill bits lol
cheers mate:)Quote:
