Transit 100 T280 04 back left strut through the van

Postby Marc@EmeraldNI » Wed May 17, 2017 10:09 pm

Hi everyone,

I have a transit 100 t280 2004 model i purchased 2 years ago. I know these things are prone to rust but i didn't realize how bad this one was until the back left strut has come trough the floor. I just had a new clutch and drive cylinder fitted and then this happened so a bit sickening. I am sure it would be best to scrap but i have been considering welding work as i have a contact in this field. Has anyone ever fitted a plate over this or something similar? Some advise would be much appreciated.
