Strut tower repair
I've done some digging on this, and it seems some people have replaced or patched the tops of their strut towers - not the strut mount, the inner fender.
What I didn't find was a follow up on how it worked. My new Z is looking pretty bad in this area and want to know who was happy with what they did and the amount of work or $$$ involved.

you would have to brush off the surface rust to see whats undernieth before you could really tell anything....
brush it off.. if its solid under there, give it a few good coats of paint and forget about it... if not...... good luck

looks like a job for Por-15 in my opinion. Stuff is awesome knock off all the loose rust and just paint right over it and forget it.
