euro car parts (possibly) Team Valley, otherwise Hadrian Panels (Hexham). It won't be cheap!!!!

It may be possible to fabricate patches, but that won't be cheap either.....

.... cheaper to learn how to weld and to buy your own welding gear.

The best job near to you would be Simon J Robinson. Not cheap again. The thing with Hadrian is you have to buy the panels through a motor factors because they are trade only.
Can you do pics of the rotten bits?
