My 80 in a previous ownership used to be a beach vehicle. In the last few years I've noticed rust coming out from the inside of the lower body sills and now also around the rear wheel arch spaces as flare pieces have come off (which were hiding the rust).
I don't think it's currently 'terminal' as in writing the vehicle off from being economically repairable, but being a 1992 build it's 30 yrs old and still operates mostly reliably.
i'd need to get rusted sections cut out and replaced but my main concern is the rusting inside the hidden spaces. I don't know how to address that and have considered a number of options none of which really seem to be a good practical solution.
I don't have much bodywork experience beyond repairing damage inflicted by me during off-roading.
