rocker covers removal Options

[lincoln]

well hopefully it wont be raining this weekend- plan on removing rockers to assess the rust damages . pass side jack hole is pretty much gone i figure , since i can almost yank out the jack tube . hopefully it wont be as bad as im expecting , car doesnt seem to have much rust issues in the areas i see folks have most ( trunk floors/floorpans/battery tray area) i was actually surprised to see the battery tray holding its own well, could this be due to the rain cover on the engine cover still being in place?i DO need to replace the drain funnels tho- both are ripped and taped back together with electrical tape - might be able to replace those with some plastic tubing from work tho- funnel ends are ok still as are the brackets that hold them

either way the floors are gonna get a coat of POR 15 along with the battery tray and engine bay firewalls- more as a preventative measure than anything-anywhere rust might try to hide
