Ok, so owning a Fiat Seicento that was made in 1998 is bound to raise some issues as it gets older. Mine has been stood for quite a while and rust has set in badly in a few places (i.e. crumbled away after poking with a screwdriver).
It has gone on the rear inner sil, right at the end where it meets the front of the rear wheel arch, on both passenger and drivers side and where the boot floor meets the drivers side rear arch (pics attached). I was just wondering if anyone had had these areas welded before and a rough idea of price? I'm loathed to scrap the car as 95% of the car is good to reasonable rust wise. Certainly treatable to stretch the cars life expectancy for a few more years. Or am I better off finding a not so holey car and transferring the parts? It's an Abarth 1.1 with usual 866, McCritch, 40mm TB, uprated suspension, Punto solid front discs/calipers etc
Cheers for any advice,
Pat
