PostSubject: MOT failure welding   MOT failure welding EmptySat Nov 08, 2008 9:38 am

As I'm redundant from work and money is running out, I decided to MOT the escort and sell it on. Its a really nice car to drive and everything works perfectly, and with a heated front screen and 72k on it, its too good to scrap!

So anyways expecting it to go straight through, it didn't, and after screwdriver poking by the tester I now have 4 big holes in the floor that need welding up. I've had a few ridiculous quotes to get it done, and would be more than the car is worth, so I'm a bit stuck really. Does anyone know of any1 that'l weld it up cheaply for me? Money is really short and I dont wanna be stuck with an otherwise perfect car thats worth scrap Crying or Very sad
