went in today failed on
brake pipes corroded
handbrake cable
crossmember corroded
sills corroded
rear coil spring snapped
and a few other things
i can sort out everything apart from the crossmember and the sills can they be fixed
and if they can how much would it cost and would it be worth it i have a 1.2 p reg worth 700 max
tbh im thinking of scraping it and getting the 50 i would get from the scrapy

Depends entirely how bad they are, and who does the work.

If you are going to do the rest yourself then its prob worth it if you can get sum1 to do the welding cheap, all welding for a mot must be seem welded unless you are replacing the whole sill
Best thing to do is to price all the parts you need and get a quote on the welding, then you will know if its gona be worth doing

Yeah, just patch over where they've rusted.
Assuming they aren't rotten all along.
