The 1st thing to do on the 1st, It might be "long" but don't ignore it Options

Check your longs!! Mine had some piles of dirt come out (not necessarily picture below) but not that much. There wise a nice clod of dirt compacted around the jack point on the passenger side.

My car is, so fortunately, looking pretty good. I have rust in the hell hole. My firewall and floorboards look great. I am sure there is rust back in behind that long area though.

First is drivers side:

Hmmmm......that seems like a good idea to drill some weep holes (and to spray inside the longs to protect from rust as long as possible). However, wouldn't that damage the "heater mufflers" in there? I would assume the acid would destroy them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

BTW, where can I acquire some new bolts (especially for the bottom) for the rocker panels? Just hit up my local hW store? I am going to be using sheet metal screws for the rocker panels on the topside/threshhold area instead of rivets.

The acid is used in rust converters in a mild form when dry it leaves a white powdery coating and neutralises the air to moisture reaction on ferris metals which arears as rust. This is a neutralising process not a complete fix so I have sprayed some thick oil in the longs to reduce the chance of rust reaccuring.
