Hello.
I'm new to this site
I'm just had my Mini Cooper 1.3 (1998) fail the MOT 'big-time' on serious corrosion to the subframe mounting points and other crucial areas.
The bodywody, however, is sound and looks really good
Sadly, I'm no mechanic or DIY man, so I've taken it to my local garage repairer, who also does limited welding but he states the job is too big for him, as it's an 'engine-out' job !
Can anyone please advise me where to go in North Wales for such subframe/structural welding and repairs.
Other than severe rusting, the car is in very good condition, with a guaranteed 39,000 on the clock, so very low milage. It is therefore worthy of repair if I can find the right person to undertake the work
Any advice would be most welcome as I really don't just want to stick it on E-bay and get rid of it.
The MOT expires on Friday 25th April. It is taxed. I'm not sure I can drive it anywhere after the MOT has expired, so prompt advice would be appreciated. I live in Harlech, Snowdonia, so a long way away from towns and cities.
I look forward to hearing from someone
Tom F
