First, that is a beautiful car. I've never before seen one in that colour. It's fantastic.

The rust doesn't look too bad compared to some that I've seen. You're going to have to get in there with a wire wheel and clean it up a bit before you can use any product on it. Remove anything that the rust has spread under, or it will just come right back, and remember to clean and treat both sides of the area.

As for rust treatments, I have heard good things about POR-15, but I have also heard bad things. I have no personal experience with it. I have used a product called Corroseal, though, and it seems to be absolutely fantastic, not to mention very affordable.
