Finally...with the holidays, starting on the Sonett never happened. Sunday we got the seats and carpet out of her. The rust SEEMS minor..here goes:
there are 2 holes under the seats..both about 1-2 in long by about 1/4" wide. The passenger door sill/floor area looks perfect..only a small amout of surface rust. The driver sill has some rust..not all the way through, but soft..maybe 6-8" along the floor seam. In the hatch, we have a hole about silver dollar size under the battery. They seem so small, I'm tempeted to sand, silicone aluminum sheet and paint...looking for your input.
The door jams are rusty and soft. Should I remove the doors and really attack this area, or just sand around the hinges, fill and paint? (there are no apparent holes).
Thanks in advance for your help..I am really a beginner!
