Does anyone know where the drain plugs for the moonroof come out in the back? Mine are just hanging there, and its part of the problem as to why my car flooded.

Its been a while since I have updated. So here is what has happened since my last post.
Cut out all of the rust.
Welded the panels back together.
Fixed the warpage as much as possible and body filled the rest.
Fixed the Gas cap door.
Painted my car. I used Eastwoods Single Stage Urethane and Eastwoods Primer.
I have to put the pieces back together but she is almost ready to drive again for the first time in a few months!!
I took a lot of pictures while doing this, unfortunately my phone broke and I lost all of them. I did manage to salvage a few pictures from instagram!
I cut out the rocker panel and welded in a fresh rocker panel. I did this on both sides.
I also had a bunch of rust, on both sides, next to the bottom of the door, right above the rocker panels. I cut these out and welded in some sheet metal.
I learned a lot whil doing this. I really never welded anything before this. I practice a little before I started this project, but was pretty much learning as I was going. I pretty much just kept on spot welding until their were no gaps. Then I grinded the welds down.
This is the drivers side after I welder them together. I did it in pieces so the sheet metal would fit better were i cut.
The biggest challenge was trying to figure out how to fix this gap. And...
This. It was completely rotted through.
I decided to just cut around it and weld in a new piece of sheet metal. (Say hello to MORE spray foam
)
On the inside, I carefully cut out as much of the rust as I could, and grinded out the rest. I then welded in a few small pieces of sheet metal. This was pretty tricky and very scary. Luckily I had almost no gas in my car. (Im actually so low my car wont start) I then put some Rust Encapsulator over it to help prevent it from rust again.
This is how the gas door fits around the new panel. I know none of this is perfect, but it works. And this is my first time welding, so I am pretty proud of myself haha.
And this is what the gas door looks now. Being painted an all. And yes, I know my garage is a mess.
And here is a sneak peak of what my car looks like painted.
Let me know what you guys think! More updates will come soon!

Man rust work looks like a bitch. I have a lot of respect for people who take on that job. When i was looking for my car the one stipulation i had was it couldnt have rust. Easier said then done, and i probably paid way to much for my hatch....but i didnt have to do rust work. I love to see a hatch being saved. Props man.
