Damn forgot my camera again

Awell don't matter cause my car got a bit uglier today

I went rust hunting, removed loads of bits of the car to find all the spots of rust because more and more is popping up and I atleast wanne get rid of all the surface rust and get bits welded in where needed before the winter. Rather go into the winter with a car with primer spots all over the place then leave the winter with a car full of holes

What amazes me is that the body shell is in better condition than I was starting to fear. I have some problems in the boot, after removing the rear bumper the bottom boot edge of the boot has nice tiny holes I can look through, shouldn't be to much trouble welding a new ledge in. Also behind the left rear wheel there is a nice hole in the body work that needs some welding. But thats it, the rest was all surface rust that can be sanded away. I'm only a little worried that some damage one the jackpoints may be hard to fix properly and start to cause problems some years from now.
They did some sort of anti rust treatment on the body work many years ago, I guess it helped....

The real nightmare is my boot lid, but I already knew that, and my doors. Now we fixed the driver side door last year, and indeed it still looks pretty in pretty good nick. Only the damage on the paint I had caused on it due to the wrong fitment of the fiberglass fenders had caused more rust then I had imagined.
What did amaze me though is that the window mechanism itself is rusting away badly. I guess the rubbers on the windows are no longer doing a proper job but the front guiders on the window mechanism wont last more then a year or 2 before it disintegrates. On both doors btw. I can't remember seeing this on any other doors, anyone else have this problem?

My passenger door is another story, I don't understand how we mist it last year but the underside is rotten to bits. It need to be cut out and welded from front to back

I hate rust
