My '73 fastback has a significant amount of rust. It seems like I find another hole every day! The wheel wells in the front have large holes rotted through. I just realized today that the previous owner attached a piece of aluminum to the inside of the driver's side front wheel well where the floor pan begins. This area is rotted and I can hear metal moving when I tap my foot on the floor in that corner. The rear wheel wells also have their share of rust. The outer body looks good, but the more that I explore, I find that looks are deceiving! The spare tire well and surrounding panel are rusted through as well. I don't know that this car is worth restoring. I have concerns about it's structural integrity. Does anyone have any opinions on this matter?
