As shown on my build thread, I am working on the rear of the body, including the trunk lid. This is a donor lid I got last year to replace the rusty original.
Now with the work I was doing to straighten the new lid edge, I found rust where I thought was clean--should have known better. Attached thumbnail(s)

Some quick surgical exploration makes it look like the rust-through of the inner brace is confined to a small area. But heavy surface rust is sure to be present all across the brace, and the inner side of the skin.
Any collective wisdom on what to do? Explore more and patch the local rust? Try to chip away the rest of the interior foam? Use a rust treatment? Or cut out the entire brace? Or don't bother and go looking for a better lid? Attached thumbnail(s)
