I don't see any rust???

*EDIT* looking at the other pics, looks like your problem is really tiny. Spray a lot of Metal Ready down there and be done with it. Unless there is more then it looks from here, its not worth cutting into decent paint over.

Be thankful. Its funny that the spot formed in that one location and it didn't originate in the sale panel and just bust thru there. I thought for sure you were going to need to fix the tranisition between the sail and the body where the little holes for the trim are drilled. Actually, now that I look at the photo again, your looking into the little tube that connects the door jam to the inside of the car. You can't see the rust growth on the back side from there. Can you get a light inside the rear quarter panel above where the oil tank is mounted and take a good look?

well it went to the shop Thursday.The paints ground down to bare metal now and the hole will be leaded in,the foam stuff removed and some por15 added under the finder(or wax)where the welds are.alldents in the rear deck lid fixed and she`ll be brand new again.I couldnt just let it go and get worse that would have not been fair to my car when she brings me so much fun.But i will say it cost me my 2.2 hotrod motor

That foam is EVIL stuff. It always get rusty under it. Search and destroy, says I.

Mine had a little rust there as well, very localized. I think that many 914s get a little water dribble in from the chrome strip. Metal ready is the por15 family rust neutralizer. I sprayed (and prayed) it in every hidden channel that I could find on my car, until it dribbled out. Then I sprayed in some more.

I still think the important photo is the one from the inside of the car. What's going on other side of the metal is important.

I am feeling your pain right now. I had my car painted 2 years ago and there was no rust in that space(on the passenger side) on my car before it was painted. Fast forward to today, there is about a dime sized rust bubble starting. Best I can tell is that when I refastened that sail chrome during assembly i didn't treat the backside of that hole well enough and water got in there and did its thing.

I think I am going to just treat that spot for now(not paint the hole panel yet). Basically, dig out rust carefully, treat front and back and then spot fill/airbrush and then wetsand and polish. If it looks good from 5 feet it will be good enough for me for awhile.
