well i bought the car back in october last year and ever since been doing bits to get it ready
i havent got any pictures of the car how it was, but its pretty much the same, just needed a bit of welding
i have done all this my self and its my first ever go
little patch in the boot
all welded up
and painted
patch on the passenger seat mount
all welded upp
patch under the rear light
i dont seem to have a picture of the patch but here it is filled upp
then sanded down
patch on the left rear light
and filled upp
then primered
and painted
front cross member
before
after
primered
and painted
bit of patch work on inner sills
bottom of left rear arch started of as a little hole
and ended upp
havent got a picture of the patch but here it is in primer
and paint
finished
then the drivers sill started of as a little hole
time i finished prodding with a screwdriver
so new sill
and painted
few random pictures
before
after

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Fair play for trying but id suggest a little research on what you need to do to achieve better results. pop your self down to halfords and grab yourself a bodywork book i think its from haynes. it will show you what the weld should look like etc its great for ppl starting out. (it looks like you havnt been using primer before painting either so itll all flake off in no time).
