My corsa has started getting rust on the B piller  is this a big problem or will it be quite easy to sort out?
If its not worth getting repaired im thinking of getting a newer corsa...
Thanks people

The rust in the first two pictures is structural and will also need the cracks drilling and welding up, the other lower bits are cosmetic but while you're painting the panel you could sort that.

The car won't fall apart, what I mean is, the crack has appeared because of flex in the shell, so if you don't strengthen the area it will re-appear.
You could repair with just bit of filler and paint, but it would only be a temporary repair.

ah right thats ok then One of my brothers mates had it on his corsa and when he lowered it the crack got worse, but he never got it fixed because he rolled it.
will welding it up strengthen it so this wont reapear when i lower it?

The proper technique is to drill the ends of the crack so they're rounded off and the crack is contained. Then weld the resultant holes, grind, fill, smooth, paint.
It should be stronger than standard once done.
