7 stupid questions / 84 DL wagen related to fuel pumps, idle and rust. 200

I can only speak to the rust issue. You need to find a body shop or welder that can fix it. If you were down hear in Portland I could refer you to somebody, I never did find anybody up there. I have received 2 estimates, after asking 12 people, one was for $500- and the other for around $1500-. The difference, the $1500- one was from a reputable body shop and they would use a piece of floor pan. The other guy is going to pound a piece of metal in there and weld it from top and bottom. BTW, my rust is just the driver side.

To find somebody to do this just starting asking at body shops, they know others in the area. If one guy doesn't know ask the next and so on. There's bound to be somebody around that can do this for a reasonable price. If you find somebody to do it for less the $500- per side, let me know, I'll bring it up to that guy to save a couple hundred dollars!

I am relativly certain that the water is coming from my windshield. The crack and the water you can see on the inside of it is a dead give away. It dribbles down the fire wall and ends up getting everything one the drivers side wet (plastic trim panels) It makes me nervous that water seems to go around the fuse panel, it's always missed it but it gets closer then I'd like. Hopefully soon I'll be replacing the windshield. Then the floor boards.
