    I would suggest doing it yourself. Welding setups are cheap and a really good investment.

    It's such a better feeling doing everything yourself rather then having someone else do it.

    Some people said to me to only cut out the metal that needed to be replaced, but I found it was better to cut out more then needed even if it wasn't rusted in order to make the new metal easier to shape and fit in place..

    Agree with the taking more than required... If you replace a 2cm hole or a 10cm one the process is the same.

    The vent hole at the bottom of the B pillar is the source of all of the moisture that is causing the rust. Welding a 'patch' right next to the stricker plate only means that you need to grind it flat to fit the door stricker on correctly. Ideally you would cut out the steel above the stricker plate and weld that onto the new section. With the rust hole that is close to the outer skin of the rear quarter, that is going to 'pucker' hard when the heat of the welder kicks in. That door shut will need a big chunk of bog to get it back to factory fit.

    He is cutting out more but just doing it in sections that was the first section he did. He has already cut out the rest and pretty happy with it all to be honest it wont be coming back anytime soon
