Hello and thank you for the add
I have just purchased my first Frontera - I got it from a farmer down Swindon. Nice chap, I probably trusted him to much actually. When I viewed the vehicle, it was caked in mud, he'd said that he had a buyer and it was all clean, they messed him around; so he used it on the farm again.
It only has 88k and drove great! I got it, I drove 3 hours home and it didn't miss a beat to be fair! I washed the mud off... okay, I didn't wash the mud off but when a car washer got the mud off, I found ALOT of rust.
so far, I've had the sub frame welded, a hole I found in the boot welded and I still need a bracket underneath welded, which I found yesterday.
Arches and Sills need to be rebuilt... but I cant afford this yet. After speaking with an MOT centre who welded it so far, advised a quick sand down, fibre glass and protect short term as the structure points are all okay.
I've paid for a welding class in October, so I can attempted to repair myself.
Hoping to have some good adventures in it soon, green lanes, off roading and camping trips! I can't wait.
I have tried taking the rear bumper off, found its in 3 sections and wondered if anyone could help me so I don't break anything.
Anyway.. thanks again for the add,
Regards
Darren
