I ended up getting the rust fixed by a welder at an auto restoration shop - it cost $1200 to fix all of it plus new struts, I think the welding-only would have been $900. This is in a very high cost-of-living area (outside DC) so I am guessing cheaper in 99% of the U.S.
It had failed VA state inspection this time but passed after the welding. The welder had done it before and said he thought it would outlive the engine...which may be a challenge since it only has 170k miles. Hopefully another 3-5 years out of it!

All I do is play with rusted 3rd gen as a hobby.
