I bought this '96 back in April knowing that this was going to be one of the major issues to deal with sooner than later. I will say I didn't realize that this would be such a Flintstones situation. Thankfully the rust other than the drivers floorboard is minimal and surface rust that I have been able to manage. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do to fix the drivers side. Suggestions and input from others who have been down this road would be helpful. Also, the passenger floorboard looks to have had similar damage that the PO corrected with some sort of resin. It is fairly solid and doesn't show any signs of leaking.
