John-Cheers for the good offer mate, i'll be cracking on cleaning it all up tomorrow to see how much platage is needed. Had a quick look earlier and it seems its the splash gaurd to jacking point join thats gone(behind where the mudflap sits), so it'll shouldn't be a massive hassle.
And i'll get cracking sorting the welding myself :thumb:
Just need find some where local to get some steel sheet from.
Basically a bit like this(pic taken from Nova Ian's WIP thread)
But just a single inch hole.

Bummer about failing MOT, mine failed last week too, got it all sorted now though, and im sure yours will be in no time :)
Thought I recognised that pic of the rusty area in question! lol
Hope you get it sorted problem free :thumb:
Cracked on today, and an inch hole turned pretty much into Ian's pic above lol lol
Was not expecting that.
So got it cleaned up, and plated over as best i could
Primered and seam sealered, not the tidiest of jobs, but strength over looks, and it should be sound

Got the headlamp bulbs back to standard, cable tied the bottom of the headlamps in lol, and removed the rear seats and belts.
Will be ringing mot place tomorrow at 9am for a re-test.
If it fails i WILL burn it.
Makes me think whether this is the right shell to be fitting a big block into tbh.
Get some of the headlight clips orderd.
Good work sorting it.. If where you paint the sealer on your paint is on in a S patton with the brush it looks factor..
And when ever you grind a small bit of rust back it ALLWAYS gets bigger.. lol
Why remove the rear seats and belts?
It failed on rear seats and belts, because i have fixed bucket seats so you cant get out of the back seats, if in a crash and trying to get out of the car etc.
Will get some new headlamp clips, they've been broke for 3years though and never give me a problem till this years mot,Lol.
That amount of rust came from one hole about the size of a thumb lol
Ah i see, and 3years? Christ i've fitted about 6this year..lol not have a bag on 20 in the garage..lol
Sadly it allways starts small. Thats why you never poke anything witha screw driver..lol
