I know this is a popular topic among s13 owners. I have little experience with body work, so I need some advice.

I sanded down the undercoating and paint in the passenger side wheel well because of bubbling issues. I found rust developing in between the seams of the frame rail.

The metal is still intact, but it feels a little fatigued to the touch. I don't think I can get away with just using a rust stopper like POR-15. Will wielding and patching be in order?

Some people have worst rust issues with there frame rails, but would this rust issue mean the car is scrap?
