Roger that on addressing the inner rust areas, all in all that part does not look too bad. Here are pics with drip removed. The spot weld bit did great where I could see them. There were several areas where I used cut off wheel and very slowly removed metal. I'm hoping I did not fork up here...the area above the windshield, I know I committed one of the body work sins, do not remove anything until you have replacement piece in hand. I have not ordered the roof panel yet, did I cut too much away from the front and just create a bunch more work for myself...
