MK1 Rust Repair? Rusty Pass. Floor

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I would recommend a stiff wire brush, POR-15, a woven piece of fiberglass, 
some resin ready to cure, and go to town...  Just as strong, and not nearly as 
likely to rust...  Not to mention a lot cheaper than a whole pan half...
