Rear wheel arch rust a warning

If you have a few paint bubbles on your rear wheel arch take note ,So a few days off decided to tackle the bubbles on the rear wheel arch inside the back doors , drivers side done yesterday not half as bad as expected bit of pitting so scrubbed with wire brush in drill and kurusted , then painted today with hammerite , between coats decided to remove the passenger side sill trim and what you see in the picture is the rear jacking point , there's also a couple of small holes in the arch aswell , so stopped for now while decide what to do , another glorious day of range rover ownership , [/img]

Yep. Looking into what to do , wether I weld it up my self ( not my first choice as I'm not a great welder ) or give it to somebody to cut all the crap out then weld new metal in then I'll paint it and put all the trim back . Will start seeing about quotes tomorrow .!

Right next to the plastic petrol tank as well.....

That does look pretty bad, thought mine was bad enough

It's a flat level sill though so should be easy enough to do... and there is space to protect the tank whilst grinding and welding....

Finally sorted this out did it myself in the end borrowed a mates mig welder and plated the hole then treated all with kurust then filled painted and polished the bits you see and stone chipped the bits behind the plastic , also repainted the wheel arch lip and got a plastic protector strip for it , now got the front subframe to go at where the powder coating is coming off .

I'll post some before and after pics of the other side tomorrow as I'm painting it if the weathers ok , it's nowhere near as bad no major holes just a lot of surface pitting from the rust
