Re: Undercarriage Rust 200 1987

Tom -- 87 a keeper for how long? If you're thinking 5 years or less, then I'd just pull the carpets, scrape up the sound dampening panels with a heat gun, do a heavy duty POR-15 job on the rusty bits, pop rivet in some replacment panels, cover with POR cloth and paint, and replace the carpets. Do the bottom as well. Less than $100 and doable by the home mechanic. If you're thinking keeper 'for ever', then get a good body person to weld in replacement sheet metal cut from a donor car.
