Heavy surface rust ain't so much of a problem if there is sufficient metal beneath it and no pinholes or worse to weaken the panel.....hit it with a wire wheel to uncover the extent of the rust and if it still feels solid when you have bright metal then I wouldn't be replacing the panel....then preserve the surface and forget about it. |

What Mick said ^^ Back floors usually (in Oz) rust way less than the fronts. And any pinholes you find there can usually be either MIG welded or brazed. |
