***EDITED TO BE MY BUILD THREAD*** I left in the important paragraph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif)
The journey begins! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) "im sorry it was without your consent, but you are ALL now my new mentors, educators, and general eFriends/maybe some day REAL friends. Look forward to that noob-to-educated resource transition! " here's kind of where i basically started:  Thanks Everyone! |

Peel up all of the tar crap in the floor boards and then look at the whole picture. Take a four in grinder and put a knotted wire wheel on there and go to town. It will take most of the rust off. Then Por-15 or Marhyde One Step the whole thing. Take the sound pad off the firewall and look for rust there and at the base of the fire wall. I am betting the rear window is leaking and needs to be resealed. Also look at the point where the firewall connects to the floor pans. Those are good places for the water to hang out and start rusting.
