What would be a reasonable price for a garage to cut out the old and weld in the new ones?
I know this is difficult without seeing the car, but just wondering what people have paid in the past.
Thanks.

As you say it is difficult to say how much this might cost with out seeing it.
However, I estimate (and this is a rough estimate) a skilled welder would probably take about half a day to a day to do something like this depending on how many hidden horrors are found.
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).
