My white 92 UK 300, which I've had since 94, failed its MOT big-time.

 

(It's done around 140k miles, I've done a 110 of that, as the second owner)

 

The garage I took it to, are very experienced with 300s, having long history with Nissan, and Datsun before that. They've sold a bunch of 300s and always serviced my car, seemingly knowing them inside out, doing a good job.

 

But they quoted £2,700 for welding alone saying the bottom of the car was rotten, and that a lot of metal needed replacing, and to do that they would have to pretty much remove the interior of the car. So with other stuff, could be talking much more than that.

 

* So any thoughts/suggestions as to what my options are?

 

* Is my only option to scrap it? (A hugely sad thought for me! I know it's only a car but 300s are so special!)

 

* Is there anyone recommended that could keep it alive at a more reasonable cost? (I'm not up to speed with who's good with 300s)

 

* If there's no option but to scrap it/break it, what's the best route? I don't want to be taking the thing to bits, haven't much of a clue.

 

Appreciate any help/advice.

 

Thanks
