andrew,
wherever there needs welding, my panelbeater has tried to protect
the areas of no access before the welding is done; ie rustproofing
sections behind sills etc before welding up the repair etc. this
extends to leaving holes (or drilling holes) for fish oiling after
welding has been done so (hopefully) the "unseen" sections will
remain rust free.
