I don't know what a decent welder in Sheffield earns but if you can find that out then you're a step closer.

Silly things like removing the seats and other interior parts can potentially save a lot of time and a lot of your money so if you can get them out to help the process you might be able to get the costs down. In this case a mobile welder (if you can find one) could be the way forward so long as the work wouldn't have to happen in the street (where I guess most mobile welders will refuse to work).

Don't be tempted to try to help too much and cut out the floors - most welders will probably want to do that themselves as they will want to make the solution their way (what ever that is).
Hi ya ,

This is spot on and I agree with that also any consumables like cutting discs , flap discs , welding wire and gas is to be taken into consideration which is what I tend todo when carrying out work like this on these cars .

All the best

Kind regards
