If I was in your shoes I would look to dig out the worst, seal up and paint. Treating internally can give it more time with the likes of fisholene or lanolin. I have just spent 50k on a body resto on a 70’s Holden and it’s a bottomless pit if you want to do it right. Just my thoughts.

I dont know how effective it is but I was told by an old rustkiller panelbeater body work guy that fisholene inside the areas where rust is appearing can help keep it at bay a little longer. Ideal for inside parts where the paint wont get easily....
