I was getting the jack out of my spare tire compartment the other day and when I had everything out of the compartment I noticed that I had some rust...by "some rust" I mean you can see my driveway through my spare tire compartment. Take a look.

I had the same thing in my 80' ZX. That was teh only spot where there was rust.(well i had some surface rust under the battery tray but I sand blasted that off when I painted the engine bay) Mine wasnt as extreme as your is though...

 

Here's where I welded in a new panel and now its my battery compartment!

I guess i got lucky, the PO of my 280ZX had been hit in that corner (well, all 4 corners at one time or another to be exact...) and the spare tire well had been rebuilt with fiberglass. Quick 1/8" drill bit to drain the standing water, and all was well. Now to fix the back hatch seal...
