Mucho!......  as said, this could be the cars last year on the road, the (future)  £1000+ bill for a new back axle is weighing heavily on my mind, plus it will (most likely) need a new clutch and exhaust system too, seems unviable on paper.

Nope...clean bill of health.

I just put back axle for easy explanation. 

It is the rear subframe that the trailing arms connect to, subframe and trailing arms are badly rusted,  ok for this MOT with a advisory,  but won't pass next years MOT after a winter of salt and wet weather.

To replace the subframe and trailing arms he quoted £950 ,  that is a long as they do not hit any problems while doing the work,  so he said budget for £1000+ for the work.

Surely you can get a subframe cheaper than 950?

The quoted (garage) prices are for a new subrame.

These are prices for 2nd hand subframes..

Mrs. Hook & I went for a drive to Sumpter yesterday....we visited a cool small 8-site campground 3 miles west of Sumpter. Campground goes by the name of McCully Fork & 7 of 8 sites are creekside w/ plenty of shade from the heat. Site #8 is in the very back but has the most room & still is only a few steps away from the creek which is a tributary to the Powder river. We've got plans w/ some friends to camp here next month after Labor Day when all the tourists & their kids go home for the start of the school year....BEST time to go Plenty of room for our 10x10 tent & our friends' RV. Couldn't believe the place was empty....Sooo quiet & serene....lookin' 4ward to camping there.

I have seen some cheaper ones online.......like this one   

Price seems OK, postage seems a bit steep though!
