So what do you recon is the best way to tackle this mess  There's more underneath but the car is to special and old to bin so the repair is on when i can work out the best way to go forward. |

That was from a scab? Jesus H Christ man  As much as i love skodas I'm no specialist, but that looks like a hell of a lot of work to me. Are panels still around for those? |

Easier said than done, but I would cut all the rot out and make up some repair sections then weld them in. If you have to cut too far into the bulkhead then you might need to brace it all before cutting
