No idea, I've not done it for anyone else, only mine and the mrs cars.

Normally these guys charge depending on how bad it is, so would need to see first, and probably need it for a whole weekend!

TRUST ME when i say this littlefeller. You need to cut out those arches and reweld new panels in.
NO AMOUNT of weeks of treatment will cure that. Thats from experience. Small amount of surface rust is fine but yours is eaten though.

Dont waste your time repairing it. It will return within a week or so.
Get it cut out, welded and shapped with filler by a pro.
