In case you didnt see my modified post here is how bad it is. I have since ground out the rust and sprayed with zinc primer and covered the holes with Duck tape for now to stop water getting in. Will get it sorted in a few weeks properly.

I wish I had the tools and skills to do so but I haven't. There is a local body shop that quoted me the £350 so will take it there.

Go machine mart and buy a gasless mig welder, have a play on a scrap bit of steel and you will be welding in no time. If welding the boot area just remember the petrol tank is not far below. I wish I had got my mig years ago.
