Can anyone recommend a repair for bad corrosion?
Hi there. I have a focus mk1.5 diesel and she has just passed her mot. While I was getting her ready for her mot I found some serious corrosion under the rear fabric in the wheel arch. Thankfully it was covered for its mot so passed but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a repair scheme to fix the corrosion?

agree with above. Easiest way is to find a breaker with that bit in good shape and weld that in.

Same thing happened with my ST170, cut it all out and replace with fresh metal

Done some prodding. Wish I didn't. It's quite bad.
Left side after prodding
Led lenser for size comparison
Right side
Right side looking forward. Left is not quite as bad
Rust what fell under the car
Still drivable before I repair?

Thanks for the pictures. At least I know it's repairable. Do you have any photos after the repair so I have something to work to?
Edit: just gone through your thread and seen the pictures. Really helpful!
