    To break or not to break

    Right i fitted my abarth skirts a few week ago and i found a massive hole in the drivers sill near the wheel arch engine has had 3000miles of trouble-free motoring but i dont want to break it and buy another GT and have a shagged engine.

    What would i be best off doing I dont wanna get hammered for getting a shell and logging it as an engine transplant insurance going up again

    Break it for what could be 100 quid of welding? Don't you know anybody that can weld it up for you? Everybody knows someone with basic welding skillz.

    repair it. look at parts for sale. everyone is breaking so parts are too cheap & no one seems to be selling parts to well either
