If it was just a bobtail with no other work then I reckon it would be doable within a week if you did a few hours every night,
was a little more work on my brothers with the amount of rot I needed to repair

discodave71 · Nov 17, 2012

took the floor out today, and its all rotten as fukk!!

onwards and upwards, taking shares out in rust stop tomorrow...

thinking of starting the bobtail at easter, with 2" lift as well...

can i take off the anti-roll bars and get it through an mot, some say you can, others say you can't, so not sure what to do with em...take them off all together or put them on for the mot...

MPfive · Feb 25, 2013

discodave71 · Feb 25, 2013

i'd be tempted to do mine when it warrents it, the only thing that'd put me off is making a 5 door look decent - I always think they look a bit funny compared to the 3 doors!

discodave71 · Feb 26, 2013

mines a 5 door, and yes they don't look as good, but i just want fit for purpose...
