• Love the look of these. I'd want to know more about what 'restoration' work has been done to the underside given the many previous corrosion related failures/advisories on the MOT history. Has it been properly addressed or just some rough 'MOT fix' welding that's been sprayed over with underseal to hide any horrors?

  • repairs in most recent MOT seem pretty extensive TBH -

    "Please see the notes below as written on the invoice by the restoration workshop as undertaken early 2021.

    Attend to repairs for MOT
    Cut out affected metal on O/S and N/S rear chassis cross beams.
    Above fuel tank, make up and weld in repair panels as required.
    Attend to corroded main O/S chassis rail, cut out affected metal in sections to minimise distortion.
    Make up heavy gauge metal as required.
    Fabricate new O/S/R trailing arm mounting and bracket and anti roll bar bracket.
    Weld all new panels.
    Repair corrosion in O/S inner seal.
    Finish all repairs with seam sealer and black stone chip.

    Works for this underbody work totalled £2,355 by a well trusted and long used garage."
