Got a bubble of rust about the size of a 50 pence piece on the left hand upper engine bay - scuttle area. Nothing under the glovebox and seems pretty solid otherwise.

Any ideas on the best way to treat this now rather than later. Costs etc?

Have a square cut out around the rust and new piece welded in!

Cant think of any better ways of doing it long term.
