Having read your post! £7-8k for chassis?? Gold plated??🤔 Bite the bullet and see if you can get the price down on the welding! Get it through its yearly appointment! Then invest in a small welder yourself! Then you have the whole year to learn! then sort any problems that it throws up? And...

That works too🤣 I did not have a pit or ramp? Dropped on the ground and pulled away! Kev

My working life is working with ropes? And solving problems is part and parcel of that job 😂😜 Kev

Make sure it's empty! All connections are disconnected? Ensure you have some straps underneath the tank! I connected 2 ratchet straps on either side of the roof gullies! Both straps were fed through one of those 'Bags for Life' to go under the the tank/guard Ratchet the straps so they are...

There is always a solution!! But as an owner of a D2! Can't help you! Sorry We use 3-in-one, WD40 and gaffer tape😂😂 But! You could try checking from Steering wheel down!! Kev

You could do a Dye Test!! Less than a tenner in toolstation?? If your carpets are 'White' don't 😂 Kev

490 Miles to far for me?? 😜😂🤣 Kev

When you have cleared the area! You should be able to see where you need to go! As for cleaning the rot! Take it back to clean steel? (Your looking at minimum 10mm clean steel for your plate/patch) Kev

Looks brilliant mate👍😁 And the same places as mine😜 Good work. Kev

Some of the pics did not come through!! Not jpg files 😡 Kev

Had both sides done! Wheel arches and footwells?!? Also anything that need to be down whilst in the garage!! (Good that I was also there to help with mine and other cars 😁) I'm still learning welding!! But all the plates/patches were done by me! Some pics to follow 🤣😅 Kev

How old is your car!! If the same as mine 25yrs!! 'TRY' and save as much as you can! I lost about 30-35%! And is like 'Rocking Horse 💩' to find!! There is industrial foam that may work! (Have not got that far yet) but it will need to be heat resistant!!?? Driver side - manifold?? Passenger side...

Have a look at bulkhead via the footwell!! Or look at the bulkhead from the bonnet to see!! I have just had to do some welding around that area on both sides! Kev

There is a thread on here! Use the search engine?? Kev

If you have a hole there already? And yours does not fit? You will have to make one? Take a look at the attached link! May give you some ideas! http://www.discovery2.co.uk/navigation.html Kev
