Been sorting rust out after taking sound deaning off from drivers side area I found a few holes mainly where the drain plugs are.
This is first time I've done any welding on a car and using an arc welder made things a little harder too but it looks alright for first attempt. Was also shitting myself cos fuel lines run under where I was working on lol
Can fit my hand through lol
New plates welded in
Painted with hammerite red
Small spot in the passenger side also done
Then undersealed underneath

Still not 100% sure on what engine to go for, seen a few x18xe1's on ebay but they all come as tall blocks and would cost a lot to make them run
Ideally want to spend £300 or less including the exhaust system
