Anyone know of a good welder around leicester area and help with a guestimate price
Bought the car a month or so ago and the was some paint blistering under the rear end sills but didn't look much ,decided to have a good look started removing the paint and there are some small holes ,one is the size of a 10p and a couple of ones the size of a 5pm, also the jacking rail isn't looking great
I'd like the whole area cut out and fresh welded in as if it's started its gunna spread like a virus
Does anyone know a good welder around Leicester area don't wanna pay a fortune but will pay for a good job
Last one does anyone care to estimate cost for repair
Thanks

It really depends what you want full resto will cost alot but if your not too worried about it all matching underneath then it's a lot cheaper.
The problem you will have is it will be much worst once you start cutting i would think around 300-500 quid or 1000+ for a real good resto job.

the sills are double skinned there. the 'inner skin' is where the inner rear quarter comes down and joins to the inner sill/outer sill. you have to remember these places rust from the inside outwards, usually its a build up of debris inside that rots it out.
whats it like on the back near the rear jacking point?

Give me a PM, just had mine done. It was worse than swiss cheese. The 14a are tripple layered. Cost me £1200 but WELL worth it with brand new sills in and out all the way along.

I paid £1000 very shortly after purchasing my S14. Pis*ed off was not the word but it was better than scrapping it. Was originally quoted about £400 but when they started digging it amounted to a lot more work. Needed inner and outer sills but at least its done now. Just the rest of the car rusting around my sills now lol
That was using a local garage in Sileby called Swains. The guy used to have a 300ZX twin turbo so he has a passion for Jap cars although that car nearly killed him!!!
