They all go just behind the header tank there. Got to get in with a die grinder/belt sander and remove all rotten metal, then plate/weld up as needed and grind back welds, light skim of filler, shape it and prime it then wet flat it so its ready to be painted with the rest of the bay.

To just repair and repaint the one side you should be looking at about Ł100 - 120 I think
