sounds like the common rust problems on gbodys in the north east. good news is that you dont have an oddball year like 78-80 so they make all the body panels and what not for it.just try not to dump too much money into a money pit. its probably cheaper to look for a same year old lady owned v6 body thats rust free all over and swapping your ss stuff to that. including the vin even though thats not exactly legal and probably looked down upon.
