Rover 45 welding

[Jewel25]

Hi , my 115,000 mile Rover 45 needs some attention behind the front wheel arch area. I know this is a common rust trap on the HHR . Question is , does this look fixable? I'm in the Leicester area and I'm looking for a trustworthy place to take it . I need to inspect the other side to see if it is the same.

Any car in any state is fixable if you like it enough.

[brickwall]

Fixable. You just really have to have a good look to where the good metal is.

[cort16]

Fixable.

 

 

 

 

Certainly doesn't look too bad. It might be worth taking some of the underseal and sealant before taking it somewhere so they can get a better idea of the job at hand.

Have you checked down the rest of the sills whilst there?

Only they tend to keep going....

[Jewel25]

Thanks for the replies . The rest of the sill appears to be fine . The 45 doesn't seem to rust on the rear arches like the 400 does. 

 

How much does this sort of thing cost to repair?

That's a fine repair - good work

[Tetleysmooth]

Bloody good stitching is that.

You can certainly see the quality of the welding in that second picture.

 

I've got a few more jobs to do over the Easter break including servicing the rear brakes/handbrake and replacing centre and rear silencer.

 

I should be at Pride of Longbridge again in a couple weeks .
