Little $250 69 Valiant

Have a tad bit of rust where pine needles and dirt had settled for nine years! That and water didnt help at all! as you can see, it has been pouring right through the hole and into the trunk! Fortunately it hasn't caused major rust in the trunk!


Hey by the way... Has anyone "smoothed" this area out in the upper corners of the trunk seal area?
The way my car sat for years (with a little "rake" to the front) made the water pool up in the corners because there is actually a lot of area for it to happen. Im thinking I may try to combat this a little with either seal sealer or, since I have to replace all this sheet metal I may just weld in a simpler piece that will shed water toward the back of the car and down the drip area next to the seal.
Anyone tried to "help" that area?
