Car failed MOT, how much do you think for repairs?

Its a nissan almera 2000, and it failed on a whole heap of things....





Nearside Headlamp aim too low and too far to the right. (1.6)





Offside Headlamp aim too low and too far to the right. (1.6)





Nearside Rear sill Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.2)





Offside Rear sill Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.2)





Offside Rear sill Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.1.B.6)





Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage insecure (2.4.G.1)





Offside Rear Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (3.6.B.4e)








Im guessing that the job will be extremely expensive, and probably not worth it considering the value of the car. I'm a bit shocked to be honest, as none of the corrosion was picked up by the garage I took the car to last year (even as an advisory notice).|||If you pick up a small fluxcore wirefeed welder, helmet, gloves, angle grinder, cutoff wheels, jack %26amp; stand, and some flat stock iron; you can do those repairs yourself for under $300. If your budget is closer to $500 or $600, upgrade the fluxcore welder to a sheilded gas mig and run a solid .030 wire. You might want to borrow a tank of C25 gas from a friend.
