You haven't stated whether the car is to have a full repaint! I think people are assuming that you are? In which case £800 is nowhere near enough money!

If they're doing only what's in the pics, then £800 is a fair price, and should be a good enough job!
With the fuel filler panel as bad as that, there is no way in the world that the wheel arch on the same panel is going to be rust free! be prepared for extra costs, also have them check the condition of the rear shocker mounting points on the body, this area is prone to serious rust, and is only discovered when its too late! :shocked:

Well i just been down an is all stripped, Windows out an everythin, There is no rust on the arch below fuel filler,, Dont know why that is,

Nothing wrong with a little bit of filler!
