I'm in the midst of doing very similar repairs.
Both rear seat belt wheel arch mounts, the rear ends of the cills on both sides including a new body mount on driver's side.
A few patches around the offside rear seat footwell/driver's seat belt floor mount
in total its about 18 patches!!
Fortunately my brother has been doing the welding but it has taken me ages to do all the rot removal and new plate creation (frankly I'm not very good) and it will have cost 100-150 quid by the time I've finsished but I dread to think how much it would have cost a garage to do!!
what advice can anyone give for covering up the bare steel now?
Don't know much about etching or priming really, I tend to just dump on hammerite but that won't go well with the bare steel.
Mr Alford:
some true workmanship there and some beautiful welding

Thank you :grin:

a lot of work there, most people would have jumped on auto-trader by now after seeing that! (glad most of mine has been done by previous owners)
dread to think what the final bill will be, but if you plan to keep it, i can see its worth doing! keep it clean, keep it covered, and it may well be a classic car before long! (most discos go this way, and most owners would take sooner buy a slightly less rotton model, than pay for the reair!)
