Last... I'm betting there was a leak somewhere that's not draining. What can be done to keep water from getting in and if any does get in, gets OUT!
I would go through the whole car make sure you lick all the rust. These cars rust at the spot welds too because you cant seal the spot welds. The problem with the undercoating is it traps water, road salt and it has no where to go besides stay in place. these cars you need to catch the rust before its too late. The too late stage is when it is completely blown out and sticks out like a sore thumb.
