¡Oye hermano!
Parece que te espera MUCHO trabajo.
A few points come to mind. One is the importance of keeping the door drains OPEN!
Be sure and remove the fenders to see the condition of the rectangular-section rail
where they bolt on under the edges of the hood. On Li'l Red I used lag bolts like
giant sheet metal screws through the bottom of the section where it was solid enough.
Otherwise I used regular bolts, nuts and washers. (This was a keep'er rolling-type repair.)
The locations of many of the rust attacks seem to indicate that salt was trapped for
an extended period and not washed off thoroughly enough. If you are located in a place
with an onshore wind (like the Atlantic side in Panamá) you should get a car cover
or maybe even a fairly tight garage to keep the atmospheric saltfall off. This is especially true if you are within a mile of the coast. And frequent, diligent freshwater
washing is of tremendous value.
