welcome (albeit a bit late :))! anyway, ghlad to see that the rust was only surface rust. i hate FeO2! do you plan on stripping to bare metal or are you going to be using POR-15 products, etc?

Hey, welcome to the club. I had a look at your pics, mine was alot worse when I got it. If its all surface rust youre in good shape. I would keep digging however, just to make sure.

Keep us posted with your progress!

My battery tray and adjacent sheet metal looked very similar (no holes :)) - I gave the old clean up (wire brush and removed any loose rust) and a coat of POR 15. Worked perfect.

Good luck.

there was some rust on the driver side floor pan it wasnt a big concern it came off right away with a wire brush and sand paper. im currently stripping everything off to a bare shell and go from there i think the car is a whole lot better shape than i thought stripped the paint off on the passenger side and found a small dent repair on the door hopefully i dont find a big surprise on the driver side. i also have 2 sets of bumpers if anyone needs them i can let them go for a reasonable offer. i also have a passenger side fender w/headlight and asembly i will also be selling my engine and probably the tranny 4spd i dont know the condition of the engine the oil seams clean for the cars age and the PO said it needed a dizzy but the compression was good.

i took out my fuel tank and it had a lot of rust i heard people take them to radiator shops to get them cleaned. does it work? or should i get a fuel cell? i will do the rb26 swap but i wanted to keep my fuel tank because i can use the stock filler and a fuel cell i will have to fab something up to use the stock filler because i want the rear floor to look as if nothing was done. any ideas let me know ive searched and all i saw was fuel cells with the filler inside or behind the license plate. thanks
