There was one area of the pan that had rusted through…otherwise the pan is in reasonable shape for a 47 year old VW. The small area that rusted through was in the area under the jump seat on the drivers side. That area was cleaned up with a wire brush and the area painted with Eastwood’s rust encapsulator, The the area was reinforced with fiber glass and finally painted.
