take doors off, take front body bolts out
other small bolts in the wheel wells and around the side area. lift off after all cables are disconnected.
cant u grind whats there out and pot rivit or weld a new one over top?

no as the battery acid leaked everywhere when the battery exploded

and thats where the rust is

note to self buy good battery clamps so batt won't break again
