It is common for these cars to rust in this particular location.
I figure I have nothing to lose by trying to fix it. At 210,000 miles it's pretty much worthless on the used market but still holds value to us. |

You would not believe what morons here in SC ask for cars with over 200K miles Yours could list for 2500-3000 bucks Probably more as you have taken care of it

My odd personality tic is I'm unable to tolerate driving around in a car with visible rust, but I'm perfectly find driving around in something with rust that has obviously been remediated in by a rank amateur in a suburban garage |

I have nothing to add to this beyond my general sadness that practical, fun, manual, RWD cars are basically nonexistent.
