Hi
The BRown and Gammons price appears high at £750
BUT! we have heard of people spending in excess of £400 for a repair
Judging by the state yours is in it may be best to go the extra mile and buy a complete frame
Don't rush into it if you can manage without the car for a while, something might turn up in the meantime
I also note you live near the coast, salt laden air etc. Did the previous owner also live in that area
I wish you all the set
Dave
