I was able to purchase the car yesterday afternoon. I intend to clean/sand the rusted areas later today, and then etch them with dilute phosphoric acid. Let that kill and seal the rust, then paint with POR 15.

Well, that's usually never ALL THE RUST. Check the longitudinals out very carefully and you have to pull the outer rocker panels.
POR-15 sucks. I can't tell you how many times I tell people this. If you want to get rid of the rust, get rid of the rust and be done with it. If POR-15 really worked, a large corporation such as Rustoleum would have already come out with something. Every time I used it in the past (and yes, I prepped very seriously) - it always strings off or flakes like the cheap vinyl type coating it is after a time. POR-15 is a scam. Get rid of the rust and know there is nothing to cover over.
Pics would be nice on this thread though.
