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...  |

That's way beyond anything you can buy from POR15. You've got a lot of corrosion there, and I'm 100% sure there's more you haven't found yet, or just can't see. If I was in CA, I'd try to find a solid southern CA donor chassis. Yes, it can be repaired, but it ain't gonna be cheap!

I was able to get most of my steel for free from dumps/scrap yards in the form of wrecked car sheet metal. You just can't mind sanding off the original paint or hand-forming your own panels.
