depends how capable you are of doing the repairs yourself, the jobs aren't bad to do

the problem when it comes to welding is where do they stop, once they have started you are in the lap of the gods regards cost

Also depends how much your paying for it in the first place

The welding is about a day's work for someone - I had to have both sides of mine welded up a few months back.

Luckily a mate did it - that's his day job 8-)
