help repairing small rust hole

Morning gents,

I've got a little mpv (Nissan Serena (same as Vanetter/LDV Cub)) that I'm converting into a weekend camper and I've been stripping it out and as expected there is a few little bits of rust (its old). This is the worst of it where there is a little hole in the rear corner.

Can you recommend some products to sorting this please? I understand you can get some kind of mesh that you put resin/fiberglass/filler over. Just not sure what to buy?



thanks alot

Yeah, oxygen, acetylene, welding rods, metal.....
Are the boltholes securing anything important?

Bolt holes were for a seat belt no longer being used

The old 30cm MOT rule is the one to look after.

"any load bearing or supporting structure or supporting panelling within 30cm of the mounting location."

Its just passed an mot so thats not an immediate issue. I bought a fibreglass repair kit earlier will see how that turns out.

As a bodge I would recommend PU adhesive / sikaflex / tiger seal / windscreen bonding and some metal cut from an old car door, bonnet etc.

Same way they glue body panels to cars in the factory.

Must get me a MOT there!

To be fair it was under carpet and there wasnt a hole until I prodded it a bit.

I decided to get a proper job done so I'm getting a mates garage to cut out the bad and weld plates on both back corners this week.

Wise move if your about to fill the rear out with camper conversion! You'll never have easy access again.

Heres some pics of the finished job, I can't see it rusting again! :

neat job there, could he come and weld my bike for me.

Bob over to seem him at his garage in Otley

Haha
