The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Water pump pliers are great big f-off pliers that you can get lots of leverage with and Mole Grips are those adjustable vice grip things.
Hope this helps :roll:

Don't they teach metalwork at skool these days? :dontknow:

resitant materials nowadays
I though school was there to help learn not confuse 8O
Mitch good luck with the screws, I know it should take only 20mins, but welcome to old cars, I bet most of this forum including myself have nipped out the garage to do a quick fix only to be delayed by rusty nuts and bolts and the conundrum of getting them undone. :wink:
if you try a pair a pliars on the head sometimes they breakfree, also a small TAP on the screw head can break the rusted together thread allowing them to come out. Just don't swing at them with a claw hammer

There are plenty of people doing the kind of repair you are doing on site so its worth doing a search and have a look .
At the end of the day it's another MK1 saved so even a temp repair is worth it and if you keep the car at least you can do it properly in the future . Cheers and good luck with it .

that's a damn good price! did I mention 8O
did he do all the cutting of the old stuff to?
getting someone else to do it doesn't sound very expensive

I cut out all the dead bits , ok with a grinder .He was doing my car around other better paying jobs , dident use any panels either all the repairs were fabricated by hand - he likes to keep as much of the original metal as he can , i was well chuffed with the results.
