Just eyeballed a j reg disco, rusty inner wings, and tailgate floor the bit you climb over to get to the back. tops of the windscreen metal are rusty, what else should I be looking for and are all these items usual for the age, and what sort of cost am |I looking at to get fixed?
Also just got new P.C. cos I wrecked the last one and so have lost all my links, so apologies for the usual questions just need a few links to go and check out details from
Hi Tony,
Bit of a chicken and egg. To sort the rear floor then £50 for the floor and maybe £50 for someone to fit it if you don't do it yourself. Inner wings a lot more involved and will cost £100 per side I would expect for a garage - do it yourself probably £5. Windscreen metal - treat will rust killer and paint will be fine.
Check gearbox - will be ropey unless it has been renewed. Check sills, floorpan, battery tray and the alpine windows. Check to see if it has been regularly serviced.
I would knock £500 off the price for what you have said but can we have more information:-
Exact year - model - engine - fuel.
