Ford Fiesta mk5 rear arch rust fix cost

Hello, the rear arches on my 2000 Ford Fiesta are rusted through at the bottom, quite a bit in fact. And i am wondering how much would it cost to weld up? So it would pass NCT

Thanks

It depends. You should go to a few local bodyshops and get quotes.
If the rust is not structural it might even pas NCT with it as it is now.

Not DIY, moved to main forum.

Most fiestas of that age are rusting now. There's 3 in my car park at home and they all have it. I wouldn't worry too much to be honest.
