It looks like someone used a floor jack right where there is a vertical seam under the door. This allowed a little water in and rust started. I had to cut it out and weld in patches:



I'm actually getting the hang of the patching and welding thing, but I hope that I'm done. I then used rust converter on anything that looked vaguely like rust in the rear of the car. Primer, topcoat, and undercoat. I undercoated everything I could see:



I installed the rear subframe and diff today. The suspension will start to go in tomorrow. I am cleaning and painting most every component. Nothing too anal, just giving it some decent rust protection.
