For a cab it don't look too bad!
Had a look under mine today and its had front jack pads done a while ago and not to high standard, how much does an expert like yourself charge for such repairs, going to get carpets up next week to see how bad they are! Pacer will be happy! :D

Get the carpets up and investigate from inside first ,all the shite repaired area will need cutting out,and dont rip the carpet when pulling it up/out.

I have a c plate 323i coming in this month for the same

Its more passenger side if I'm honest, guy came round with a wedge but found a bit of moisture in the area that had been welded, hoping for best but its an e30 so will be a mess no doubt lol Ive never been so happy not to sell a car but 5k would have been a nice touch lol! :D
Also sorry for bunging up your thread, I love the Calypso beast though!

Your so right! This car has been on my mind too long and deserves work
I can put my hand to most but welding side is my dads department and now hes hitting 60 hes not as keen getting under my bangers lol, Suppose I could get the old fecker to teach me, also the older I get the more I like to let others do it and I hand over the coins! lol Looking forward to a kid free weekend and taking bits up and see what I'm dealing with!
