if they are small, then if you have access to the rear then you can put some flattened copper pipe behined the hole, then mig weld as normal, the weld wont stick to the copper, but will instead be forced to fill the hole.
if there is no rear access, then you have to carefully place metal around the edges using a spot tecnique untill the hole is small enough to bridge with the weld.
if the hole is really big, you need new panels

Yeah good advise, Slimjim!
Maybe you could post some pics Melliott?
If you do it carefully you'll be surprised how much you can repair with spot welding!
(sometimes even without adding metal, only with welds)
I know about that...few weeks ago a colleague came in my booth dropping a big rusty, dirty part of his exhaust on my bench......could you just????
Blimey! i was blowing holes on every weld!!!
But i filled them up straight away, he never knew....
Hehe...his car sure sounded "sporty" after that!
