SOme of you may have seen this already...

I've had a big chunk of rust happening in the area of the fender/strut mount.

Here's how I solved the problem:

Yes, now I'm very good at "splatter welding" and it doesn't look too pretty.
At least the strut won't come through the hood now!

Next project is to repair the rocker panel/floor seam that's parted.

Does anyone have any 'exploded' views of how the factor pieces go together in
that area, or any pictures of the rocker panel area apart?  I need to see how
all the bits go together, to figure out a plan of attack.  

I can cut up a 4kq floor pan, but I'm not sure where I'd want to make the
'splice line' and splice in a floor/rocker panel section in,  or If I'd be
better off undoing the factory spot welds, and replace panels as units.

Any ideas entertained!

Thanks,
