The vents by your feet... I noticed my jeep on both sides drivers and paszenger the paint was bubble here in my pic so i ground it down and its through.

Is this section where the vents are ? Please tell me no.

If it is how hard do you think itll be to fix this ? I vould i could cut it out and weld in a patch.. bondo sand and paint... but man i dunno

wish i knew how rust like this started on my jeep , i have the same thing on the other side, and the quarter panels and spots with the wood trim all have bubbling paint i finally grinded down to clean metal and repainted.. I really think the repaint someone did in 2010 on it has something to do with this
