kevin50 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 This is the best Ive got for now, I do have 2 new YRM footwells and now I need the end pillars and feet but not sure now that its reparable. Anyone had one this worse before and repaired it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Definately, had a series 2a lightweight that was gone further than that, its all repairable just depends upon whether you want to put the time in or not, looking at it the footwells you have bought will cover quite a bit of it so not too much after that regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The really difficult bits are intact, so it’s worth fixing up. Apart from the cost of the new sections, what have you got to lose? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romahomepete Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It really needs to be still bolted to the chassis or to a jig when major surgery is involved. That is repairable by thr right person. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Not bad at all. It can be fixed. I agree, it must be in a jig or on the truck for repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAHC Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I am half way through one that looks just like this one.... hardest bit is neatly popping the old spot welds and fabbing up 'partial' panels - ie , not the door pillar, footwell or vent repair strips. Tacking it up, welding it and smoothing it all off is the easy (and satisfying) bit. Spending the time getting all the fits and seams right is a ball ache too. Also I was given the same advice as above and am doing it on the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
