Default rust



Can the above rust be repaired, one dosen't look to bad, the other has failed its MOT. Am thinking of buying this car with a view to putting it back on the road. If I can find some actual solid metal and get access is this repairable? I won't know until I view car and poke with a screwdriver but will it pass MOT with a patch in this area if I do a good job ans seam wekd everyting (again assuming I can find something to weld to).

Any help would be much apprecaited,

Thank you

Hi AndyT

Looks better than mine and I found a local mobile welder guy who does know about these things to patch mine up.
I would make a plan and prepare for the rust treatment you will want to do.
