A Z lost, a Z saved

Sold my 280 ZX to my best friend for a cheap price to prevent an older 280 Z the fate of the crusher. The Z is pretty sound mechanics wise, but the body is in a need of a little help. It has falking and small holes around the trim, mirrors, hatch, and bottom of doors, but nothing bigger than a tennis ball. I live in south texas near the bay (major salt and humidity) and good help on Z's is almost impossible to find. Suggestions please?

Try to use zinc galvanised panels as well, this well help to prevent rusting. I think Zinc might make you sick if you weld it though, so you might have to leave it to professionals (maybe?)
