Housing Grant oil fired boiler

Why do you need to replace the boiler casing? It is mainly just to hold insulation to the boiler and also cosmetic.
If you could post a couple photos of boiler, as there are several models over the years.
How did it rust? Was rain water getting to it, - or has the seals on boiler been leaking allowing corrosive gases to cause damage?

On the case, picture coming it's the galavanised housing that needs replacing it's corroded especially around the flue.

External model?

Yes 70/90 it's my fault for putting plants on top of it probably.

Never seen those rotted like that, but I suppose galvanised light steel can’t last forever.
Any flue leaks inside will cause corrosion, but also the outside will be subject to corrosion near the terminal.
That could be patched by using piece of sheet of metal.
Or buy a standard boiler house, or have one made.
Where roughly are you? Lots of used boilers about that you might get lucky with same type
