So my "rust free" ebay car really needs to be dealt with. I have been avoiding the issue for over a year, but getting stuck in a small flash flood forced me to pull all the carpets and pad. I knew I had a windshield leak and a soft spot behind the front passenger's seat, but I wasn't prepared for this big of a hole.
In addition to this spot there is a 1" hole in the front passenger foot well along the frame rail, and a few other spots that are pretty superficial (size wise at least).
The root of the problem is a leaky windshield, and there is some small rust bubbling at the windshield base. The car had a front end collision sometime in its recent past, and I think they did a ****ty job with the paint and windshield seal. When I pulled the carpet I found a few pounds of leaves in front of the A/C evaporator and in the frame rails. Any ideas on where those would come from? How do I know I got them all out?
I bought a POR-15 kit to patch the floor and random holes, and I was thinking I would have a go at pulling the windshield to do the same. Any reason I shouldn't do this myself? I have the time to work on it this summer.
Thanks!
