So here is the rust on this one. It's a 75 cali car it's entire life.

Get the worst over to begin. Let us take a look at the hell hole. It was solid, and even passed teh screwdriver/hammer test....

*until* it soaked in metal ready a while... then the screwdriver test started picking out giant holes which you see here. It is still soaking, and has been on/off for days not to eat away more to see what metal is truly left. Next step is a grinder or non-hand tool of sorts to break deep into the pitting and see what truly is through.

About the sill to long brace on the drivers side, I looked at my post which did not indicate what was through -- the long took a screwdriver through where the sill brace was mounted to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

So the long needs to be patched there as well, the screwdriver hit the flexible heater pipe inside.

How can that be patched without melting said heater pipe and how can I seal the weld back up inside?

I would hate to replace an entire long over that.
