I don't know why but I have been looking forward to working on this repair for ages. Probably because it is always right in my face looking at me from the front of the car.
The battery tray is really badly rusted.
I needed to cut out the worst of it in the hope I can weld in a new panel, without having to replace the whole section.
So far so good! Just need to clean this all up and cut out a new piece of metal and weld it in, but with all that waxoil that someone has painted on there I'll have to wash it down first with degreaser or the welds will become decontaminated.
I will also have to sort out this little hole as well.
