Looking for advice on my 1997 Cockburn-Holdsworth Sonata

[HueysMum]

Hi

I recently bought my first little motor home! It was considerably cheaper than others of its age as it needed some work. The inside is spotless. It’s currently in the garage having four new tyres, timing belt change, auxiliary belt changed, new water pump, new wiper pump and a service. There is some welding that neeeds doing and I’m wondering if anyone could advise me on a)what I might be looking at cost-wise roughly and b)weather it’s worth doing properly or will I be throwing good money after bad?

As far as I can tell the sills need replacing and several small patches (photos below) need sorting out. Is this something I could sort with 2-3k?

The van was a good price so happy to spend 4-5k on it.

Grateful for any advice.

Looking at MOT history for your vehicle, it seems some structural welding may have been done for last years MOT. So maybe the rest isn't too bad? Sorry can't answer your exact question as I don't know enough!!
Good luck

You need to get that to someone who can properly assess it before commenting about the cost of the repairs.

There may be additional work required that is not obvious until a strip down is done etc...

My only advice would be that what ever you do get estimated initially double it in your mind as you can be rest assured more work will be needed.
Good luck
