off the top of my head without seeing the car and pricing bits up you're looking the wrong side of £1000 for panels if you want to do a propper job.
floor pan is £404, scuttle is £85.00, could need inner wings and clubman ones aint cheap!! then there are all the little bits you forget about like closing plates etc...

put it this way, it aint going to be a cheap one.

I would agree changing the complete floor as you have a serious rust issue there and by the looks of it the heelboard as well.

If you do decide to go for the replace the floor in sections route then the replacement inner sills butt join to the floor sections not over or under. The front replacement floor panels have the inner sill section incorporated into them, i'm not sure about the rear floor sections.

To be honest though its not worth messing with separate sections, replace the whole floor assembly in one. You do seem to have a lot of rust in other areas as well the rear quarters especially plus from what i could see the rear seat pan looks crusty as well. Whats the boot floor like because if that bad then doing a complete boot floor pan replacement would be the way to go as this also includes the rear seat pan.

Good luck with the rebuild, you have got a very big job on your hands there.

Thanks very much for your advice, I'm wondering whether to do the floor in parts now,,, I'm al of a dither,, I guess I'll just have to get to grips with it

Hi Carl
Nice to meet you this morning and very kind of you to do all that invesigation work for me. I have managed to take some photos of the scuttle area from inside the car, 4 are of the left hand side and the other 3 from the right, the pictures I hope may be difficult to work out but its so diificult to get my camera in there. I guess the right hand side scuttle area would have to be the worst from the inner part, not quite sure whether that part of the door connection visible should be there even, let me know what you think anyhow, I have had a word with John about the work and he is in agreement with you that the job needs to be done well. If I were to ask you to do it what sort of payment would you require initially from me and when could you collect the car for repair? We will be away from Thursday this coming week so if you could get back to me before then with a few words about my request that would be swell
Thanks again
