My car was one of the worst cases. Rear window leak and it sat for a long time. The tunnel and in between the firewalls must have had had a lot of standing water in them. My solution was drastic. I replaced both firewalls, front and rear pan, and I also replaced all the tubes in the tunnel. I am still worried about the inside of the longs. The outsides are fine. Inside? It would be nice if there was a tunnel floor patch. I suppose It could have been cut out / repaired and welded back in place. The accelerator tube is very close to the bottom. I cut into it in several places removing the floor pan. If you are considering this, be careful.

If I use a rust inhibitor spray and spray it as much as I can in the tunnel, will I damage anything inside the tunnel? (i.e. fuel lines?) What if i just pour POR-15 and just let it spread as far as it can go?
any thoughts?
