Have bought an S14a which in the sellers term had "small patches of rust" on the rears of the sills which in reality ended up me being able to a put screwdriver through the majority of the inner and outer sill to which I now have a foot + long hole sill after tampering with them. Had 3 garages including a friends garage quote sill rebuilds at £500-£600 and 1 reputable garage based in kent offer a quote which meant not interested to put it simply. I am now worried the garages that quoted for £500 have not quoted to the extent of the rebuild and I will end up facing multiple additional charges as the repair progresses.
Would anyone be able to tell from the photos attached whether the shell is able to be saved from an imminent doom. Would like to do the welding myself but the only experience I have is in a college workshop welding fresh metal so welding a rusted 14 will probably end badly.
