Body Rot

I have an '81 Cressida wagon which runs surprisingly well, considering that the body is
literally dripping off the car at this point. What can be done to cover-over some of the holes
and get another year or two out of this wagon? Short of welding, I suppose.

Are there any heavy tapes that could cover the holes? Or any sort of foam that could be injected
into them? The car is in Hawaii, and 23 years of salty air have taken their toll. I don't even
like to open the hood anymore, since re-closing it means an inch or more of rusted metal will
fall off!

Duct tape. Or you could Fiber Glass over it, but that wont stop the rust,
only buy you some time.
