You're gonna have to take it to someone then.
heyup mateStill looking for some sort of walk through, Project on hold till better weather. Still got no practice weldingwould not know were to start on this. Doin my head in :Cry:
i am about to be doing the same thing with my series 3, again i have to do mine on the drive as no garage. i bought the footwells from fleebay (still waiting for them to turn up before i have a good look at them plus i aint got a welder yet but do have an offer of help...
i will post some pics of my beast (keep saying that)

I have a few people that have offered help, but when its crunch time will they be there ?
Once the better weather comes i'm going to get on with having a go at welding, but with no garage, full time job, no spare cash and not much spare time. Its like mission impossible.
heyup garath - sounds like your a busy man lol - will they turn up well if its anything like my mate who pomised then NO llllll
mine went off the road just before xmas when tax and mot ran out - that was the plan to run it till they finished and then to give it a good sort out, but its taken longer than expected and other things always crop up with the other half..... new shoes and the like lol

re UK_Akita's footwells, there pretty mashed. all the craps gonna have to be cut out but a new footwell should fit whats left.
are you willing to travel to shipley for an afternoons worth of welding basics? maybe with b20wnx and his bulkhead when its off, or the pair of you just havin a go at welding?

managed to open something in a slideshow. i dont normally browse the album so not sure how to navigate it.
anyway, if yours was the white one, the pics were a bit small to see and i had the time durantion at 2 secs which was a bit fast.
when you get chance stick some pics in your thread i replied to an i'll have another look!
Couldn't see why not, Will keep you in mind. Thank you
I know what you mean, I have the near side nearly off (1 stubborn last bolt holding it on) and have to get out and get the off side off. But like you say its too cold. Also i have time against me.
Have plenty of friends that will be there when it up and running, were are they when it needs fixing. Also going to have to look at rear cross member repair when the footwells are done.
Still not a clue were to start On a good note, i have got some new wire and gas with regulator for the mig. Will be having ago when weather is better.
Going to bite the bullet and order the footwells on Monday.
LR19R Footwell RH - RHD
LR19L Footwell LH - RHD
Should get the Monday evening. Hopfully they will spur me on to getting the rest of the front off, and preping it for welding.
So who's coming to do the welding
