I have had it to my local classic mini garage 'green & whites' He says he can see daylight where there shouldnt be. Goes in next wed and he his stripping it and welding it up for me
Didnt want to risk it due to all the fammable gasses and materials in the area. he said it will be a pain in the arse to do but will give it his best shot
Another local, i'm in middlesbrough hopefully see you about.. (sorry to be off topic)
