tucked in the garage (luckily I have garage space) awaiting a restoration.
One other option: teach yourself to weld and do the work yourself. That's how
I keep my current spit road legal. And I don't mean with factory parts, I mean
with sheet metal that I buy and and cut and shape myself and then weld in.
Yes the purists may be scandlaized and it's only going to make a proper future
restoration more difficult, but I'm just looking to buy time until I can afford
to do it (or have it done) right.
I don't know how practical this is for you as your MOT is much more stringent
than our local inspections. But whatever you decide, best of luck to you.

Dear All,
I have been rather quiet on the list of late, as I have had little to complain about, little to seek advice about, and even less to provide in the way of advice to others! However, I now have a depressing problem, with which I need your help. Last year, Carly needed over a thousand pounds worth of welding to the chassis and floors to get her through the MOT. This year, she has failed again (corrosion around the O/S/R tie-bar being the main problem). Another four-figure sum for repairs looms. I simply cannot afford to keep pouring money into her, and I am forced to the conclusion that what she needs is a complete body-off restoration. I can't afford that either (at least at the moment, or in the near future).
