Keep it or sell it? Ideas and advice please.
The garage reckon for that money, I could buy a better example on eBay than mine would be even after the repairs.
Firstly, any ideas on how it could be done cost effectively?
Also, what if I decide to sell it? What is it likely to be worth? And how to go about selling it? My emotional attachment says I'd rather someone took it as a Project (it drove us away from the church!), but I suppose beggars can't be choosers.
Any advice / thoughts / ideas gratefully received!
I'm near Wrexham/Chester, and I'm on 07901 621498 if anyone was up for giving their sage advice.

Alternatively sure some folks in the group might know where you can get it taken care of at a reasonable price. $5k for welding seems excessive but no idea what state your car is in. Might want to get some second opinions and share some photos before doing anything rash.

Which means that you need to remove the parts and have the shell delivered for a better price.

General trade don't want big jobs, they can make more with less hassle doing brakes and services, rather than labour intensive and low amounts of parts
