Bum. Well, I guess I alway knew that the 900 had a limited lifespan. However, it's still a bit of a sod to discover that it'll likely need 1.5 times what I paid for it spent on fixing the corrosion and the next set of things that will break.

I'd like to be the sort of chap who'd restore the beast properly, but if I'm brutally honest I don't have the money or the skills.

Oh well, if it passes the MOT in July, that'll be an extra bonus level. Otherwise I'd best look at getting the 9000 back on the road, or finding some other vehicle to fill the classic-shaped void. Lord alone knows what, mind.

Probably another 900.

The cheap 900 is still for sale in my office.

Know anyone who can weld? Do you have a garage?

Well, yes and yes. However, the fixing of this one requires cutting off the front of the car, repairing the area around the lower attachment points and then welding the front back on. And then come complicated malarkey in the corners of the rear wheelarches.
