Thanks everyone. Apparently there's a MIG I can use at the farm if I take the van back there, think the whole job is a bit beyond me though so will see what the welder says first and then re-review my options.

I think I've got my emails setup from the forum, so if you are heading High Peak anytime let me know.

Cheers,
Jane

Thanks for your replies.

I would like to learn to weld someday but I've no good place to do it at the moment and it seems like a really difficult job to start on as its tight and all vertical or upside down. Though my Dad is a good agricultural stick welder but has never done MIG or TIG so says he doesn't want to go near any thin metal jobs. But if I turned up back at the farm with a nice new hobby MIG maybe I could get pointed in the right direction... Just seems very daunting plus I'm also a bit scared of grinders. Would be very satisfying to learn something new though.

Thank you very much for the offer of the sills John but sadly mine are rusty in exactly the same places as yours were. Did you use all 4 ends? I'm really worried mine is bad higher up than yours were on the inner sill and that'll probably be even more arsey to try and get into.

I've got someone said they'd look at it and give an estimate next week so I'll see what he says. Sort of feel like I could maybe tackle the back bit myself with a very steep learning curve but the sills look too difficult. Just really don't want to get rid of the van, couldn't face driving a perfectly functioning vehicle I like this much to go off to be scrapped.
