How hard a repair does this rust hole look?

Whilst slapping on some rust killer today my paintbrush exposed this on the front body mount where it meets the sill! :(


It's in for welding anyway at the weekend for the usual bits but I wasn't expecting this lol!

Any ideas how tricky a repair this is? My brothers failed his mot on a tiny hole in the rear bodymount so this is much more impressive!

I think I got close to that part for my MOT a few weeks back.


Not too bad a job really as I quite enjoy welding.

That's reassuring thanks Keithy :)

The guy I use is good- the repairs he did for me three years ago are still fine. The weird thing is the other side is perfect?! I can't understand how that can happen!

The other mounts look ok I think. With bodymounts is it a case of removing loose rust, rust killer and top coat to hopefully nip it in the bud?

This Jim shows no trace of underseal- I don't think people expect them to rust underneath when the body is fine.

I just remove all the rot back to good metal and replace with new....the set of mounts forward of the rear wheels could be a bit of a bugger though....body off :-(

Thankfully the rears are just surface rust so a good clean up, rust kill and underseal should save them!

Will report back with how the repair goes!
