Hi Guys. Have been meaning to ask, is this an MOT Fail?
Is it repairable in your opinion?
If not, do I start saving for the Front Panel and/or inner wings too?

From what you can see i'd say it's repairable
BUT now remove the plastic arch liners and check front body mounts
Then make a decision on whether a front panel would be needed ;)

Totally agree with Jack, get those plastic arch liners off and take a look at the body / chassis mount. I would not be surprised if you find a big pile of for, when you can see rust on the top the mounts below are usually long gone. Can still be repaired, but it's time to fabric the individual parts against cost of a new panel.
Yes it's an MOT fail if they spot it's associated with the chassis mount, but it can be hard to see.

My 05' looked pretty good, just a bit of surface discolouration. Later removed the arch liners like the chaps are saying and found next to bugger all, a big hole where the mount should be....



This was repaired though, don't despair...



Hope yours are better....
