With the exception of electrics/electronics, I'm rubbish at car DIY, so I'd greatly appreciate advice please.
This illustration of the N/S front wing of my 1996 BMW 2.8 SE shows a section of about 3" that's rusted through. Until yesterday it was probably only the paint holding it on.
Within a year I'll probably finally change the car (if I can find a recent S/H BMW petrol automatic of at least equal performance, with a sunroof). And as the cost of a 'proper' repair would approach the value of the car itself, I just want a simple quick and dirty repair. I can't drive it like this!
Q1: If I elect to tackle it myself, how do I set about it please? So far I've wire-brushed it and intend to buy some body filler from my local Halfords. But I've never done any 'body-filling' so practical advice would be very helpful please.
Q2: Alternatively, anyone know someone in or near East Grinstead who could do the botch up job for me, for say £50 - £75?
