Can anyone recommend a welder who has knowledge of minis who operates in northwest(even better wigan&#128540

This is the locostbuilders forum so I would suggest you buy a decent welder (not a pants hobby one) and do it yourself. How hard can it be :£

There are lots of quotes for welding stuff on the various mini forums and these days it seems to run about £360/£400 per side for inner and outer sills, probably door step, floor pan, flitch repair patches as well included.

You can easily spend a thousand quid on what looks like a reasonably good mini.

It's not easy to weld thin metal well, but with practice you should be able to do it good enough
