I'm thinking of getting a car but it needs welding to the jacking points and rear arches.
I'm very very keen on this car and it's at a fair price but obviously there's no point getting it if the welding is going to cost more than the car is worth fixed

Its a bit difficult to guess really . Depends on panels and availability . If it was say a escort you would probably spend £100+ just on panels + £200 maybe to fit them . Then theres painting .
Depends on how much you want to spend . You could get the basic welding done then tidy and paint it your self - al depends on what sort of money and finish .

How long is a piece of string?
If it takes an hour a corner to cut most of the rot out and snot an MOT patch on to last a year, it'll take 5 hours to do a reasonable job that will last 5 years, or 20 hours to do a 100% proper job.
Doing a halfway decent job also comes with the caveat that there's every chance you'll discover more rust hidden that should be repaired while you're at it.
Then there's deciding if a mucky smear of black underseal is OK, or whether you want it body colour and properly sealing, or an invisible repair back to factory finish.

Anywhere from £30 for a small over patch if the surrounding metal solid to many thousands if the guy welding gets carried away and a 'small patch needed for MOT' turns into a full restoration.
