So there is clearly some rust bubbling up under the paint just in front of the driver's side door towards the wheel well (picture).
My concern just got a bit higher. I'm getting ready to put in a new carpet set. There was some rust in the rear floor pan that I have dealt with and I uncovered a bit more when I moved to the front floor pan. My concern is that there is some rust on the inside area that corresponds to the area of those bubbles on the outside. Am I looking at replacing the whole front quarter panel?
For context - this is a 1972 911T Targa that will never be all original or concourse. Currently it has a 3.0L engine from a late 70's - early 80's SC and has fuel injection. Overall the car is very clean and in great shape and has been in my family for the last 35 years and is a joy for me to drive during good weather.
I have some skills and experience, but welding is not one of them.
