Hi,

I am looking at buying a car off a lad i know and just wanted some advice about how much it would cost and if it is safe to repair a bent floor?

I havent actually seen the damage as i have only just heard about it and wanted to know what people think?
All i know is he hit a kerb and has bent the floor. Its a G reg 2.0L 16v Nova.

I know someone who can weld but need to know if its is worth doing and safe to do?

Thanks

I am not clued up on this but it sounds like he has hit the kerb hard , and bent the chassis in some way causing the floor to bend.

Don't buy it.

if its just a bent or dented floor pan/sill from coming off a high kerb it may not be too bad.

if it was a high speed accident then it could be the whole floor indluding chassis legs that are bent, if thats the case then avoid it.

c0rsa, i have just text him asking how much for the hole car and if he can text me some pictures of damage & car!!

also... there is another reason i reckon you should buy that car! We both owned it in the past, and i loved it till those c u n ts robbed it, and i know you loved it till it broke into aswell!

if its beyond repair then fair enough, but if it's repairable at a fair price do it!!!

when i went in it, it was well fast, well alot quick than my Xe corsa, just needed a cash injection and some TLC, i do agree that it needs a bit more now though!

will let you know what he says!!
