You can't have seen many then lol,I've seen and done a loads on various marque cars.
Price it all depends on if it's mates rates or a straight up job for a customer?

Its my parents next door neighbor so don't want to charge stupid amount. Just need a guide really how much. Replaced and welded bumper bar and re-welded front bumper brackets. Also under sealed chassis and painted bottom section back in black stone chip.

Most of today started 11ish finished late this evening. This was both sides aswell.

Oh sorry I had it as one side plus bumper bars sorry,it would be around 350 then I'd say

If that job was done through the garage with prep after to make a seamless repair plus etch/stone guard etc it would be around 550+VAT.
Obviously without seeing what was entailed in the bumper bar work it's just a guide price.

chopperman

Looks like a good job done there.

It's a seamless repair aswell all smoothed as me personally hate the bumpy un-even finish plus my name goes with the job.
Bumper bar was a new section of box with tabs drilled and welded to fit original mounts then a couple of bumper brackets to hold corners up and in place.

chopperman

Well if that were my vehicle and you did both sides for £350 i would be a happy man. What's £350 these days if your car gets to live a year longer. That repair looks like it will out last the rest of the vehicle. Are you a pro welder? I used to be a welder years ago and i would of been proud of that work, in fact that's better than i could have managed.

Yeah im a welder by trade. The bloke who's truck it is was getting quotes like 700+ for the work at local garages. He had it repaired a couple years ago. If anything it made it worse all the rot was just plated over with a few spots to hold the plates on.

What would you say is a fair price for both rear arches on a 2door then Ryan?

sorry to jump in here as well lol, ive had an offer to cut out and weld in new metal to both my rear arches on my wagon and paint for 300. i think its a good price, does that sound about right to anyone?

That sounds cheap to me, so far £1200 and £850 cash job with stickers on for the company is what I've had which is expensive in my mind. Its quite a lot of work and I've seen another cheap job where the rust came back so I'd want proof it was all done and rust proofed

All the places round here cost a fortune for welding. A friend had his xr2i inner wheel arch repaired at a garage not body shop. cost £375 then the bloke had the cheek to say it will probably need replacing again next year. When I checked it was just another inner arch welded up over the old one

albob
