Spring driving in Massachusetts is a few months away.
So I decided to remove the motor and fix the hell-hole rust.
I could be in way over my head.
Here's what I've done so far.
(several pics to follow)

Can you guys show me exactly what I need to do next?

How much more should I cut out?
How much surface rust do I need to grind away? Some of hell-hole repair pictures I've seen posted show shiny metal on the longs and inner fender. I don't think I could every get mine like that.
