Hi,
I'm starting work on getting my GTX good for rally cross and want to deal with the rust. For the most part the underbody of the car is pretty good. There appears to be no structural damage rust. The rails have some undercoating peeling off and some surface rust beneath, but it is still solid. The main problem is the jack points. They look terrible. I haven't removed the carpetting inside yet but I imagine it has not affected the floor pan. I'm not super experienced with this type of repair, but I want to do it right. Is anyone familiar with how to take care of this problem? Do I cut it out and weld in a new sheet of metal?
Also, I'd like to treat the rails to make sure they don't get any worse, does anyone know a good treatment?
I've attached a pic of the area, the rail looks like it's bowing a bit where the jack stand is, but it is not.
Thanks
