Well, the hole itself was repaired, but I was just able to excavate as seen below. Surrounding area is ice pick proof. What are the best "fixes" to be done while keeping the car together? It does not extend into the interior either and the side runners are very solid (had been replaced too).

Andy is probably right.
BUT If you pull the rockers, be ready to find pristine outer longs. There are clamshell covers that have been for sale that could be put over bad rusty longs. Ideally, the rust is fixed before the clamshell is used. but that is not often the case. I looked at a parts car in York that I could put my fist through the rust holes (in fact I did just that trying to talk the dealer down to proper parts car prices). But the longs looked pristine due to the new clamshells. On this car, you could actually see the rust going under the clamshell, but you had to lay down and know what to be looking for. dealer wanted solid driver money, so I walked. Whatever you find is fixable. We are here to help. Some of us will even come over and help you fix it in person. If you promise good beer, not cheep stuff. :-) |

(-good man, real good advice from everyone-) Cancer digs deep, only bare metal is real. The skin will lie about what is underneath.
Our rust is very predictable; it follows a decay path building momentum or it is isolated and is easily proven. Bad seals make many floors rot. That is an isolated cancer. But a PO that ignores one, ignores others... The R hellhole is the traditional start- the collapse of the R console and shelf progress with the decay of the R long. We know you have the first and the last signs; the middle is highly likely. Poor repair by PO that was incomplete makes this likely. Your prize was incomplete yesterday but today you now know. Just fix it. The work is not growing- that damage is done- stop further and get it back up to speed with simple repairs. Don't dispare a bit. No-one's rushing for cover- we can help you along. No problem- you just need metal. Got to do it right. -Jordan Andy is probably right. BUT If you pull the rockers, be ready to find pristine outer longs.
