Friend's 2000 Fiesta has just failed MoT due to rust in offside sill which is also also anchors the seatbelt. Tester (at council workshop) said welding 12 inches or so in should get it through another year. It's decades since I had such welding done so I'd welcome any guesstimates of the likely price bearing in mind (a) she's not looking to keep the car for more than another year but (b) OTOH it is in London.
A nicely done job would be 250 quid.
Many thanks. I'll pass that on but suspect with the brake pipe and tyre also needed it'll tip the decision to scrap.
Define nicely done?
Is that smooth with matching paint or a visible patch with black paint?
I find stripping the seats, rear quarter trim, peeling back or removing the carpet, sound deadening material from rocker panel and re-fitting it myself reduces the price a lot.
