More expense
j99mud:
Oh well there goes a large chunk of my hard earned. Just been and booked the motor in for a new rear cross member and a little patch to be welded on the chasis. now to go and find £600 ish :cry: still i do love the landie and it needs doing i suppose!
petergalileo:
Answer is, buy yourself a mig welder for about £200 and teach yourself to weld. I did, saved a fortune and its not as difficult as everyone thinks either !
davidlandy:
we did Jimbobs in half a day, the new Xmember was about £120 from memory.
we bolted it onto the chassis then welded as well - belt n braces.
sound advice above, get yourself a MIG, if u are having to get little holes welded now you WILL be needing it again!
once you have one you will wonder how you managed without!
way2deep:
ouch,that hurts.....sound advice mate get a welder and learn yourself.lot cheaper in the long run and then you could end up doing everyone elses too :D
snezza69:
Just welder a new X-member onto my project, easier than I thought it would be however I was working on a bare chassis. Even though I would say its certainly worth a go. It may even be worth doing all the prep first and then hiring a welding kit over the weekend. Much cheaper option.
