Therein lies my problem.Mechanically I can do most jobs on a car[or with help all such jobs] however when it comes to welding I'm stuck.I learned to gas weld nearly 50 years ago but it's a skill I've not used in many years,I've never learned to Mig weld and I don't know anyone who can although it wouldn't help much as my lock up garage has no electricity so if it comes to welding it's either pay a garage to do it or scrap whatever car it happens to be.

I hate welding and am not very good at it, but I have a Mig welder in the shed, to be used if needs must.
It kept my 190D on the road for a few years, and Ive also found, cut out and replaced a few rusty bits on the Omega.
The worst by far was the spare wheel well. It must have had water sat in it for a long time. I reckon if I hadnt fixed that about five years ago, it would have spread all over the rear of the car by now and finished it off.
Anway - regarding the OP car. I would get quotes for the welding, then have a think about the cost of replacing the Omega and what is actually going to replace it.
Then decide.
