Sounds good! When I had my engine out I detailed the engine bay (cleaned it only). For 25+ years she wasn't too bad! I used a grinding wheel on my drill to remove much of the rust then coated it with Corroless rust conversion primer. I then took some generic JC Whitney auto insulation (aluminum on one side) and cut it to fit the cargo area. Went to Home Base and got an outdoor 4'x4' patch of black carpeting and cut it to fit the cargo area. It worked so well I used the same material to line my front trunk.
