Very interesting. Way beyond my talent level.
As a non welder, I wonder if rivets would work?

I didn't think the lower dashboard was too rusty, not compared to the chassis, bulkhead and door frames.

I bet rivets would work. I always tend to do things the hard way. You just need to keep the heads fairly flush on the outside where the foam goes on. Are you reusing the original foam? Mine was too far gone so i'm recovering it in EVA foam.

I'm hoping to use the old foam, it seems in fairly good condition

Boss lady saw the dash last night and said, don't bother repairing, buy the new one, stop being tight, it's only £600!

Still undecided, I'd quite like to have a go at a repair

If you've got the go ahead from your financial director i'd get the nice new one. I spent (and am spending) countless hours on it. I do get it about wanting to repair the original though.
