hello all i got a beetle 4 months ago as a project baja. however i'm using it as a family car for now until i ofund something else. just yesterday i decided to lift the carpet and found some surface rust what should i do to prevent it to go any further until i redo the whole thing (probably a year) same for a few spots around the car. should i just sand back to bare metal and then what?
thanks ppl (i've never worked on a car before so please don't be afraid to tell me the most basic (that's probably what i need)

If you are going to fully restore it in a year and pull the whole body apart, then just a quick coat of rust converter will hold it off temporarily.
If you are restoring it, then remove the surface rust all off using mechanical means. An angle grinder with a twist knot cup wire wheel will do good, and then a coat of rust converter and let it dry for a few days until the metal turns bluey black.
The ultimate is to sand blast the pan and then POR15 or Rustbullet coat it.

Speaking of rustbullet, apparently Volksfolks is not distributing it anymore does anyone know who is?
