Rust issues in engine bay

[gaz_moose]

the strut top plates are rusting from the inside as they sit ontop of a seam.
drill out the spot welds to remove the plates then hit the surface with a wire wheel in a grinder till the rust has gone.

use the old plates to make a template to fab up some new plates then weld them back on.

rust down the inner wing to chassis rail seam is quite common. use a knife to cut out the seam sealer and see how bad the rust is, you may just get away with splashing some rust remover gel over it.

Thanks for the heads up, well the inner wing is a lot worse than it looks cause it was sprayed over on top of what you see. Doesnt it provide some structural integrity of the car? When ever I see people doing tubs they never really replace that spot?
