    hey everyone
    so my car has started to develope some rust on the bodywork with one fairly bad corroded part near the rear passenger side wheel. The NCT is due in a couple of months and I'm just wondering will it take much to repair the damage, i.e is it just a matter of filling the hole with some sort of filler or will it require cutting it out and welding some new metal in?

    thanks
    Ciaran

    Looks fairly serious. Do you know how to fix holes like that?
    If not I think you need to speak to a bodyshop or two and get quotes.

    yeah was thinking that myself. So a bodyshop would be the best place to go? or would a regular independent have any chance of sorting it out do you think?

    You can ask around in 3-4 places (body shops and regular indys) and go with whoever seems to know their stuff best/is cheapest.

    Btw, pic is huge, can you remove it and just link to it instead?
