The area I'm concerned with is near the rear wheel arch, where the fender bolts onto the body. I got to weld in a new patch with a bolt hole.

Thats not rust, it's ah ... orange primer ... yep that's what it is ...

Thanks for that bigfella, I don't have a caliper or micrometer handy, so I only had a rough guesstimate ...
