I has rust in the roof over the cross member in the engine compartment and a PO installed vents in the back deck which I will have removed.  The affected areas will be rebuilt with metal and no fill.  It is also getting the hood replaced with a fiber glass vented version from Bob Byers and a new windshield.

I am thinking that it will require opening up the rear fender wells for the exhaust.   Don't know if it would add 5k value to the car if installed?
