When I was installing a new stereo the other weekend, I noticed that the rear passenger side floor pan was starting to rust out. I read up quickly on drain holes and realized the two under the hood near the hinges were plugged. I unplugged them but still had water coming in by the front passenger side floor pan and rolling back. I then did a little more investigating and removed my battery and battery tray. Underneath I found a rust whole and that is exactly where the water is coming in.

I plan on getting some seam sealer to plug the hole. Maybe in the next few weeks I will cut out the floor pan where it is rusted and weld some new sheet metal in to keep the rust from spreading. I need this car to last and I don't have rust anywhere else so I think its worth doing.

Any thoughts?
