the hole is about the size of a nickel and is right over the passenger foot well. The car is kept in the garage and its rarely (if ever) parked outside.
any ideas how to clean this mess up? and fix the hole? i can think of all sorts of creative ideas but im sure you guys would have the 'correct' approach for fixing the small hole.

THE "correct approach"?
Well.........that would NOT include using JB weld! THAT, would be the "cheap" and "easy" way out.
Its a matter of "correct" over time/money approach. WHICH way do ya really wanna go? What does it REALLY mean to YOU?
Grinding all the rust out,and getting to clean metal and checking both sides of panels for such is essential, getting rid of ALL rust is crucial, and then welding in patch metal, or whatever required, etching/primer/painting would be my definition of "correct approach"
But then again, we all gotta make the time/expense call, and besides that..................if done "correctly, we wouldn't have the "Previous Owner" complaint and or whining opportunity!
YOUR CALL!
Note: ya "see" a "nickel sized" rust spot/hole, trust me.......its generally, much bigger than ya think.
