I can get a half cut and its in alot better condition then myne would it be worth welding a new front on
or maybe even just cut the bits out i need and weld them on ?
Or should i just remake and shape it all from sheets ?

After looking at that post it has given me alot more hope as i dont need to do much to the back, only the front
And he did a fair bit of back work too.

If the other half cut is in better condition and it's a good price then I would get it.
To do a cut and shut properly you need most of the A pillars so that you can make the joint all the
way down them so I would just use it for the parts on it. A |

Apparently you need an engineers certificate for major structural repairs but if you can replace your rusty panels that is not really major structural work
