Well after flipping the rear seats I found what I thought was the start of a hole, which I'm guessing has been caused by the rear windows leaking at some point.
Get the screw driver out, or hang on, some tape has been painted over........

The question is will it be able to be welded without the subframe needing to be removed???.....i think I know what answer to expect.......

depends how good you want to make the job

Subframe out or you may be wasting your time

I have found frosty the lion smiling back at me in boot corners before.. very frustrating.

When I saw the title of your post, I instantly thought "oversills". But painting over taped-up holes is even worse, in some cases criminal.

Good luck with the repairs. Take the subframe out, and do it properloy. If you do it right, you only do it once, for a long while at least.

Ditto. The better you make the repairs now, the less you should hopefully have to do in the future. :)

Amazing what **** will get through an MoT, especially when the work is carried out by the garage to get it through it's Test.

That is why I said that it sometimes is criminal. It really is.
