Hi Hugh,

There's little rusting on 850's since I understand the body panels are galvanized.
I wouldn't be so afraid to wire brush that spot, since you could easily make a patch yourself and install with pop-rivets & JB weld and cover it with a little undercoat spray to make it pretty. Bondo is easy as well.

I would be more worried about welding though, since you might fry something
unexpected, such as a wiring harness. Before you weld in floor panels for instance, all the seats and floor mats/rugs, harnesses,etc etc need to be
cleared away.

Bill
