Hi,

I’m afraid that’s very much a piece of string question - without photos it isn’t possible to see how much rust (I assume it’s rust that’s the problem?) there is, even with photos you’ll find more rust hiding once the paint and under seal is stripped off and you haven’t indicated how clean and tidy a repair you want- a patch to keep the car on the road, or an invisible repair to an otherwise immaculate vehicle?

Have a look at my 245 project thread to get an idea of how much rust can be hiding under the underseal and paint on the sills.

You’ll probably have to take the car to get a quote- it’ll be hard to judge online via photos. Someone might be able to help with a garage recommendation in your area...

Cheers
