Both arches need cutting out and new metal in. then both quarter panels resprayed. Not something i can do.
The sunroof is fine.
Take it off, remove the rubbers. sand back, primer, colour and clearcoat. Job done.
It would be around £150 for the sunroof. Id expect the arches to be around the £700 mark to get sorted by a good bodyshop. There is a CHipsaway bodyshop in Mansfield (Rob Marshall) but i doubt he will do cutting and welding.
There is a decent bodyshop on the Colwick Industrial estate.

I wish my sunroof was rust free, in fact it's the only part that is rusty

Re: Spray work
I was quite suprised when I bought it tbh I expected more rust but she's actually in really lovely condition, full leather too. If I'm honest I love my car
