Title: Any one weld in the North West
Post by: Drift on June 30, 2007, 16:12:30: Welder or competent amateur welder wanted for a job on my rear door and to weld on a recovery hook/eye.

Will need to be in the North West and be cheap or in need of beer :wink:

Post by: Drift on June 30, 2007, 21:29:05: Properly would be cheaper than what I was quoted for the welding but I could tell they just didn't want to do it so bumped it up.

I reckon its worth getting welded as I wont have to run around trying to get the right color tailgate :oops:

And my mudclub sticker is on this one :lol:

oh its steel :wink:
