Now this is not on my KJ but it is on a car i would like to get, an Austin Mini Cooper.

Now my question is how would i go about fixing this or slow the rust from spreading?

that happens when the body drain holes arent kept free of debris so water can drain

depending on extent of interrior rust, you may be able to just replace the panel from the junk yard, or, if youre handy with sheetmetal and cathair / bondo you could cut out the affected area and remould it

Thanks for your help. If I do buy the car I will probably just replace the panel since I found the panel for less then $100.
