Down in Hertfordshire working just now - big storms the other night, while out driving round the lanes hit a large puddle about 2 ft deep ( couldnt see due to rain very dark crap lights lighting etc- hit it about 50 mph , thought i had ripped the front spoiler off!!! :cry:

Nope spoiler ok no visible damage- until a couple of days later while checking the exhaust as it starting knocking on the floor- minor adjustment , but sounds like a baffle has come loose in the middle box- brand new scorpion too!
Anyway found the nearside front jacking point has been ripped off!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
i knew they would need some attn for mot - usual rust for a 16yr old car! but now i have a hole!!
My tools etc are all back in Scotland and i have no time to strip and repair at my friends house where im staying as i need the car at 3am every day!

Anyone know of a CHEAP but competent garage who can weld this for me - but how i want it as im a fussy git and want it to look as original as poss- can you still get jacking point repair sections?? dont want a bodge it thatll do repair , needs to be a proper job! :roll: :wink:
