It wasn't quite that bad, lol! Mud, puddles and wet roads did become a problem. Had to screw a few old license plates over holes in the floor. Lol! Between the rust and the beating I gave it for 4 years I had ripped the unibody under the back seat around the front shackle mount of the passenger rear leaf spring. When shifting gears under any load the rear seat would lift 2" - 2.5" from the spring coming through the unibody. I had it welded up but it broke out again like a 3 corner tear about 6 months later. The rest of the car still ran great but was looking pretty rusty by then so I moved on.

Nothing like the fun of your first car being a starter shit box. I treated mine pretty bad too. Live and learn.
