Is Erdington too far away for you as weve got a body shop at work and could sort this for you.
Have you got a pic of the repair you want doing?

best thing for rust is to cut it all out and put on a new panel arch that way its all gone and wont come back within 6 months

as said here i had mine done without cutting it away or a new quarter and it came back within a few month so was pointless! so for me its a new rear quarter with some abw arches.

i dont have any pics handy
the inner arch has a hole in it
the flange the bumper bolts to has rusted off
there is surface bubles on the outer wing
this is just the off side, i will do the other side at a later date that is no where near as bad

You only have 2 options:

Fill it and regret it or

replace all rusty material and repaint (expensive), replacement panels aren't available.

Mine need doing too.............
