Hard one to fix as behind that cover, is your petrol filler neck

Its fixable but with quite a bit of stripping out before starting to weld
Remove
Filler protection cover
Filler Pipe
Fuel Tank
Rear seats
rear carpet
side panels
Fuel pipe interior cover
Now assess the rust. It will probably be a good 1-2" of the wheel arch, and about 6" of rear floor. Cut it all out and weld from the inside makes life a bit bearable watch out for the seam selant that was use in the car it burns quite nicely

Just seen worse this week, my mate bought Sj that is bit worse for wear..
done quite a few cars that taken alot of welding, all I can say is take your time and do it right first time..
feel free to email me if you need advice on welding/fabrication.
