Dude, if possible just get it welded. I did the same, cost me 350 bucks.

Mustang, Any update on your car??

@captain : I have decided to run this car in the current stage as long as possible without as these are not immediate concerns

If the new fiesta is launched before the year end & is available in Q1 2011 then i will go for it

Otherwise, I have decided to pick up the current gen fiesta 1.6, Preferably the S model.

Ok Guys i have decided that i will get no repairs done up & now you have to guide me on one of these options

1) Use the Ikon for 12 months as it is, I am pretty sure it will cause no problems till then except for tyre wear & buy the New Gen Fiesta Sedan 1.6 petrol. This way all i get for my car would be around 70-80K

OR

2) Use the Ikon for 5-6 months & buy the current generation fiesta 1.6. I think my car would go for anywhere between 100,000 to 125,000.

And yes while buying the current gen sedan i will be making use of my dad's CSD, & hence current gen fiesta is cheaper in the army CSD by 60K rupees.
