rust prevention

[Soma576@xxxx]

Hello All,

my 82 D has a small rust problem (i think). starting at around the 
transmission area, the frame has some cracking epoxy and red-tinted spots are 
showing up (ever since i bought it last year). there is a small spot on the 
driver's side rear strut tower that looks damaged, as in there is a chunk 
missing and it looks like something hit it really hard and cracked it. i'm 
not sure if this is rust damage or not, i don't think it is. i'm wondering 
what the best thing to do would be as far as preventing any further damage.

is it recommended to scrape away all the affected areas (in my case, 
basically at the rear wishbone and back), paint with POR-15, then use a 
rubberized undercoating? 

anyone who has done this project well, please drop me a line! i won't be 
doing this job for quite a while but i want to know what i am up against.
