bodywork experts,
I just got winter beater 85 300D, and I am getting it ready to go. I poked around at the one major rust area, the front jack point / rocker panel.
I discovered quite a bit of rust after stripping the chunks away.
Outside front driver's jack point area:
Inside the driver's footwell:
This car is not going to be a show car. I just want to make it last a while (5 years?) as a winter car. what's the best way to practically repair it? looks dont matter.
I have plenty of POR-15 and fiberglass cloth and bondo waiting. I don't have a welder, although I could access one. I am leaning towards coating in POR-15 and then using fiberglass cloth + bondo to fill the gaps since the area is not structural and full of complex curves that would be hard to fabricate.
Thanks,
dd
