I decied today Im going to fix this so went to a sheet metal shop got me a pretty thick peace of tin the size was 20" by 17" did some measurements used the jig saw and BOOM looks just like new well kinda. I wasn't going for prefection I just wanted the hole not to be seen anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) This is about the only real rust I could find on the car the rest is ok.

Everything else has no rust but the battery tray and under the seat. Someone stuck some carpet to help controll the rust on the battery tray though. I havn't finish that little project yet so I will go buy some por 15 and stick it all over the area then weld it down into place or screw it down.

carpet does not control rust... it holds water, which make for more rust... directly below the battery tray is a suspension console, if that part gets rusty... the car becomes VERY DANGEROUS!!!

also, covering rust with another piece of metel does NOTHING...
the bad rust needs to be cut out, any other rust need to be converted (if it's solid still), use por15 or even just OSPHO(replaces metal ready, not POR-15 paint) hardware stores... metal welded back in place(or screwed if there is NO rust, but this is not as recommended...)

the parts we are worried about you WOULDN't see in a "normal" inspection, take the rocker panels off(they are attached with some screws under the car, easy to get off/on really) under that is the longitudinal support, since our cars don't have solid tops this piece is VERY important to the structure of the car.... either don't drive it until Gint gets there to give it a real inspection, or pop the rockers off and take lotsa pics for us to see, to make sure you aren't driving a car that's waiting to collapse...
