Wanted - anyone able to do mobile welding - Dunstable area

Just to really make 2011 go even better for me, Ive found a couple of areas of rather dodgy metal on the daily driver (read.....poking around with a screwdriver made holes)
Is there anyone local who a) can weld b) can come to mine and weld

Its not urgent, as the car is SORN, but the MOT runs out in 2 weeks and there is no way it will go through now Ive played (maybe I should have left the playing until after the MOT)
Its currently 2 sections, one near a jacking point / sill and another near a crossmember, car is a W210 Merc - the ones that rust from the inside out, there is the possibility of finding more next time I go looking

Im 10 minutes from the M1 J11/J12
Cheers
Iain

Hi Iain
I have the kit, mig and tig and I can stick it in the back of the car and drive it over to you, but I have virtually no experiance welding anything thinner than 1mm, ie I've never done body panels. If you want to borrow my kit then you are very welcome, but I would not trust me not to blow big holes in body pannels.
Best regards
Mike

Thanks Mike
Its been a while since Ive played with both, hence me being a bit dubious of my capability, let me have another look at the weekend and see if its any worse....if its just these 2 then I will save it, otherwise its the grinder of doom and then E-Bay the bits!!
