I have some rust under the seats (surprise!). I had planned to just use "POR15 Patch" on.
But maybe I should get a couple of these patched with steel&weld? Welding is beyond my capabilities so I'd have to find a local shop to do it - I don't like others messing with my car plus $$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Opinions? Driversside...  Driverside firewall...  Pass. firewall/door corner...  Possible structural issues with this one...  |

If I were you I would dig all the sealer out on the inside to make sure thats all you have. The rest of the car needs a real good going over because you might spend 2500.00 and then find even more a little later and before you know it you think you can't afford it. Look for bumps under the vinyl on the top, bubled paint in the door jambs, and any added undercoat from someone before you. Be real sure you check the longs and the hell hole as someone has already mentioned. It already looks like you need to learn how to do metal replacement to make it affordable. Good luck
