Seems to me that the undercoating is part of the problem. Any moisture that gets trapped between the undercoat and the panel is going to start eating away.

Why not take it down to metal on both sides and use POR 15 on the inner surface? POR works great at stopping and preventing rust, but I don't think you'd want that on the outside, just where it won't be seen. They say you can paint over it, but I'm not sure about that one, the finish looks too bumpy to me.

Don't drive a rustbucket if you don't have to. 100K is nothing these days. Good luck!
