Update..FINALLY got the rust removed and replaced, Including:
-one total DogLeg LH. This was a challenge. it was the full Dogleg including the rearmost rocker area, a piece where the rear seat upholstery ring is attached..it had to be done from the inside and treated on both sides.Pretty sure it had its beginnings from a leaky Shark-Fin..as there was some rust on the lip of the divider behind the rear seat.
-one partial DogLeg RH
-the rearmost floor-lip that is hidden under the plastic where the hatch lid LATCH is (rear sill).
-replaced both front floor drain areas with pieces about 6 inch squares...now there are no plugs...
-a few areas under the LH plastic lower body fairing
The rear wells surrounding the rear shock upper mounting. The inner was ok. So I fabricated a new upper well.The outer well is not a supporting area if someone could manufacture a plastic/rubber well it would resolve that...the well part that is sandwiched between the mount and the shock was paper thin from the constant movement from the bushings.
the mounts were OK.
The well on one side needed some replacement where it met the floor seam was and finally the roof/antenna drain was gone.
SO, now it's done.
