Of course the windscreen would need to come out anyways to do the scuttle, but the rest of the bulkhead is like new with no rust apart from that section.

How would one go about repairing this...

As Noah said cut a piece out of a scrap mini. That particular area is shaped and would need quite a bit of work to get right. You can get new bulkheads but its the whole thing and not cheap.
£251 to £367 ouch!!!

These prices appear to be from Somerford Mini (probably the same elsewhere) and seem to be for the complete bulkhead, including toeboard and rack mount, which is indeed a lot of money. M-machine seem to sell the various parts seperately, which may work out more economic.
