Rust Repair Estimation

[Colin747]

While getting the W-Brace replaced on my 350 today my mechanic phoned to say he'd found serious rust and sent a couple of pictures. I'm just wondering if anyone has come across something similar and if anyone would have any idea what the costs involved in fixing this would be?

 

My mechanic mentioned that the rear suspensions and fuel tank may have to be removed to establish how extensive of a repair will be needed.

Its definitely rust ......... but the pics dont give much more than that away TBH. Would need something a bit less zoomed in to get any kid of idea but he may well be right as regards diagnosis

Looks like possibly the tank shield from the pictures, about £100 from Nissan. It unbolts not sure what else has to come out though, exhaust/propshaft etc.

Looks to me where the plastic shield bolts on at the end of the w brace. Not sure wether that bit is replaceable or some welding is needed.
