Hammer out a panel from some sheet metal and section it in. Easy. Once you spray some under coat on it nobody will ever know.

There is no rust that I can see. Just dolly the dings out from underneath

yeah, it's the section where the bootfloor and rear seat ect join up. There are rust holes visible from the inside of the car as well.

so can i just cut out the section ( boot floor and seam of rear seat0, and weld in two new pieces of metal? I just don't want to do anything to impair the structural strength of the shell.

thanks

How big are the rust holes? Maybe just fill them with a mig?

it looks pretty good to me...why hack it up?

you could fill the holes with a welder if small anyway. Treat with rust converter and you're away..

Carfully remove the top skin in those small areas and make a replacement piece and weld in.

Dremel should work wonders in this instance! 8)
