Corsa b rear valance rust

[garyzetec]

I have a corsa b and I took my rear bumper off to have a look and the panel iS rotten so bought a new panel was just wondering if anyone could give me a quote for cutting out the old one and welding the new one in because the quotes I have been getting is 800+

Is that price from more than one repairer, I must be out of touch because it seems a lot to me, unless it is a 'don't want the job' price or they know from experience there is a lot more behind that will require work.

If you can post some pice it may help people get an idea of the work involved.

They tried telling me the car wasn't worth it but to be honest i don't care I ain't planning on selling it anytime soon yea will put pics up now

 

[garyzetec]

That's the worst of it

Probably the last 6-8 inches of the chassis rails are needing patches too,around the towing eye usual corsa rust areas .still ,£800 for that is a huge joke lol.with the rear panel supplied by you and box the ends of the chassis rails done would look more like £250 tops.

I thought about 250 to 300 was fair to .But seems at 800 pound to fix it I may aswell buy a welder and learn myself how to weld

Also have this bit of rust what's the best way to go about repairing it

 

[the snooper]

don't you weld ?, they are a very simple repair, just get a spot weld drill bit remove spot welds and plug weld the new one in place
if it anything like a vectra b it will have leaks in the boot, the Vectra's leaked where the roof joined the rear panels and water ran down the inner soaking the boot floor at the sides also rear windows and especially the boot seal which is evident in your picture from the rust where the seal fits

For 800 you could get another corsa b lol
