The 1st thing to do on the 1st, It might be "long" but don't ignore it Options

Check your longs!! Mine had some piles of dirt come out (not necessarily picture below) but not that much. There wise a nice clod of dirt compacted around the jack point on the passenger side.

My car is, so fortunately, looking pretty good. I have rust in the hell hole. My firewall and floorboards look great. I am sure there is rust back in behind that long area though.

First is drivers side:

When I did my long repair, I made sure that all of those drains were still intact on the inner rocker. I suppose one could drill an extra hole to feed that rust encapsulator tube in, just make sure that the RE doesn't go on so thick that it plugs those drains. They can, and should be cleaned with a small screwdriver occasionally. The jack point is a whole different story, as Cary mentioned. But it seems to me most of the rust that occurs there actually starts from the outside in, as debris piles up on it over the years.
