Ok, here we are on day 6 or something of the War on Rust. Today, I am focusing on the inner wheel house, lower portion. I removed the outer skin and the inner structure. Before would seal this area up, I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions about what to do about the bottom of my interior longs. As you can see from the following pics, they are rotted on the bottom. I was kind of surprised that the car can rest on the jackpost here. The sides of the longs are redeemable, after some POR-15. Any suggestions? Should I just treat it with POR-15 and call it good? There door jambs are fine on this vehicle.

You'll have to cut any tabs you have connected from the main hoop to the targa bar and support the car at the stock outside jacking points..and pull down on the back of the car until the gaps are correct. When you get them correct.. re-weld the scab plates leading to the targa bar (probably have to weld in new ones).
