What's this, the roof fell off!

Well, ok, maybe I cut it off. Overall the structure underneath is about like I expected. Lots of dirt and some surface rust, but nothing a coat of POR-15 won't handle. However, under the rust hole that was in the roof, I found some major damage.

Wait--it gets worse--the rot from that hole in the roof extends through two inner panels. The top one won't be a big deal to repair, but the one underneath actually forms part of the support for the a-pillar. It's also a complex shape so patching it won't be simple.

I need to pull the front windshield and probably all the front sheetmetal to dig into the front window area, so that'll probably be the next thing I do, aside from removing the remaining portions of the roof from the back and side of the car.
