Mines the same, I noticed today when under the car by the exhaust and looked inside and it was just starting to show in the boot.
I was just going to get a mate to plate it when he does the bits under the bonnet just around where the grill sits when the bonnets down.... prob cost me a couple pints but worth it

Not really, mines 12 years old lol, I expected a few bits and bobs to be rusted/broke
Just go see some small garage down a back street where an old, real mechanic works - Im sure they will sort you out cheaply
You could always ask your dad what type of price you should be looking at as well..... give a ruff idea

VERY sound advice, I neglected to mention this because when I get my mate to do it I will be supervising ( with a pint since he owns a pub ) the entire job lol
Rust is like cancer, if its not all removed it will just come back..... I also paint with rust to metal converter ( cant remember its right name ) after o n the edges just incase

If you get it plated, cut the rust out yourself of make it clear you want every bit of rust cut out so they don't just plate on top of the rust as a cheapy quick job or it'll keep eating away and you'll have wasted money.

Mines isn't quite that bad, I'll cut it all away tomorrow & make the hole bigger lol.
Is this 2nd picture - a picture of it fixed?
I can't see it being that much of an issue TBH, doesn't seem an important part of the car.

Yep, 2nd picture of it finished.
You'll notice there's no mounting holes for the rear seats. Not a problem as the seats aren't going back in.
In fact, they're in the local dumpit site.
