Wink Slight Rust Problem

What do you think? A little Bondo, and everything will be just fine?

Surely that's not saveable.

Bondo? Duct tape should be sufficient.

My wife says it's a "Flintstones car." The only way it will move now is if you stick your feet through the holes in the floorboard and push it!

DarylD could fix it....and I'm not kidding - though he'll probably chime in and say he wouldn't suggest it be done.

I know it is perverse, but there is a part of me that would get a major kick out of truly bringing back a car that was this far gone....Of course I'd want extensive Before, During and After photos.

I did a '57 Chevy truck with Flintstone floor holes but nowhere near this bad.

That rust is so minor I am surprised you even found it, I'd keep driving I dont think the real rust has begun to show up yet.
