Hellhole repair, Have some questions for the experts Options

[BK911]

So I spent the holiday weekend removing the engine and cutting out some of the rust at the hellhole. Here is where I am now:



My question is, now what? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The long looks pretty good with the exception of some pin holes. Should I just plug weld them or cut out a section?

How do you finish the inside of the long? I was planning on spraying some metal prep in there then some por-15.

Not sure what the metal the battery tray attaches to. I will call it the tray support area. Should I cut this all out or just patch some places?

The piece that came with the engman kit that covers the long has a flap that is supposed to "bend down over outer long". I'm nost sure that is possible. That area has another layer from the tray support metal that interferes with bending that piece over the outer long. Should I cut this flap off and just weld along the edge of the tray support metal?

What should I do on the outside of the inner long? Seam weld to the piece that covers the top of the long?

The engman piece that has the holes cut out for the brake and fuel lines didn't have any provisions for the engine seal. Is the channel for the engine seal available and do I just tack weld it to the engman piece? Or do I need to buy the piece from RD?

Any advice will be appreciated! I am moving in a month and need to get this wrapped up asap.

Thanks,
BK

I would purchase the inner fener/upper wheel house piece. That piece will fix the wall behind the tray and the complex bends and curves along the seam. You can fabricate patches that will work, but if you consider your time and want it look as good as possible, the patch panel is a no-brainer.
