My dad mentioned "delaying the inevitable" and he was a bit surprised at my decision too, but I think I've justified my reasons for doing it. I am painting them myself as well so all I'm getting the mechanic to do is the welding. I've been quoted £30-40 and he's only done the one area so far, I didn't get a picture but its the black area where the strengthening plate is just before the outlet pipe it was completely riddled with holes so he removed it and re welded in new plating. The rest are just a few small holes and I want him to reinforce all of the double skinned pipes meet the single skinned rear section.
I read about sleeving down the stainless pipes but I really couldn't tell what it involved or how I would go about it? Refurbing the originals I've done before I just rushed it and didn't do enough so I'm having to do it all over again annoyingly but this time its a much more thorough job.
