Turned out to be very poor repair by some previous owner where they had bashed in the rust and bogged over top. By the photos below I reckon they went through a small can of bog and even stupidly blocked a drain hole.

It is repairable but will set me back about a week. Moral of the story is always be nice to people because you never know who is watching.
Mate I feel your pain , I bought my 70 Mach 1 ( about 10 years ago ) off a car dealer in gold coast area.

Bought the car with my heart and not my head, started collecting/buying parts . A couple of years latter when I started to work on it , I realized the car had been in a accident and bad repairs had been performed.
It's a life lesson for me.

Cheers Jason.
