That sounds like lots of work, I can buy two rust-free Aygos/C1s/107s for that price and keep the current one as a parts donor, lol. Though is ripping out the interior necessary? I thought the bottom floor was not the same as the interior floor under the carpet (based on the height difference and part placement underneath the car), though I might be wrong.
It'll be necessary to remove the interior so they can access both sides of the panel for removal/installation and not catch anything on fire while welding.
Best bet will be to ask around local autobody shops since they'll have the most accurate estimates. I'd personally just sell the car if it becomes a bigger issue. Repairing is likely cost prohibitive.
