Take a look at my photobucket link and you can see what you could very likey be in for on it. Mine was rusted a little worse and the outside lip has some holes in it too. I ended up replacing both inner & outer entire panels. I think if you get into cutting the inner front out you are going to find a lot more than you see, but maybe not.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
