hello mate ust is more of an anoying issue than a bad thing.
worked in the trade for almost 5years now mate although i am classed as a sprayer.
you will have to strip down to see all areas with rust and eliminate.......if it is mild sand down with a da using 80grit use a primer called etch primer then spray.
if its very bad with like you will have to with the chasis...cut the whole area out that is affected by rust as you cannot alow it to grow when fixed. then wheld a plate filla primer etc, if you worried about the rigidy weld another stainless block in the box section of the chasis although i wouldnt imagine this in necessary.
for future referance get your car fully undersealed to prevent any rust in the future.
any questions m me mate
it will have to cut and plated regardless as he said there was a hole.

Don't Panic!!! Most people's reaction to rust is to do something over-the-top, and you can't get much more over-the-top than buying a new shell... Just have a good, common-sense look at it, and if you can, give it a prod and a poke. You'll soon realise if it's FUBAR. Also, don't just assume that underseal is the answer. As I've said many times, a car won't fall apart from rust unless you keep it a good 10-20 years, and that's because of neglect. Similarly, throwing underseal at it will only trap the rust underneath, so take a chill-pill, breathe, and approach the problem logically... As said, it may just be a leaky battery, and isolated to the area immediately underneath...

i was only trying to help as i have been in the trade for over 5 years and now own my own repair business! well that would all depend if you were stupid enough to underseal over rust in the first place, wouldnt it?
