Default Rust/Body Work

I'm driving a '88 944 2.7. It is in pretty good shape except for rust, if it wasn't for the rust it would be in great shape. One of my license plate lights is just about rusted totally out, a little bubbling on the driver side rocker panel, very bad bubbling on passenger side rocker panel, and then some rust in the floor (I don't think it is too bad). Haven't taken it in for a quote or anything yet but just wondering how much I'm lookin at to get all this fixed. The figure does not have to be exact but if you could get me in the same ballpark, that wold be great, any input is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Landen

Just wondering since I am new to the porsche forum, and have a MGB withmy rockers replaced. Do the Porsches have problems beyond just fixing the rust on the outside of the rockers and quarters. Meaning, are the sills or inners rusted too in most cases?

See the thing with a lot of German cars, especially earlier ones like the 944 is that the metal is put together in layers as opposed to other metal and steel that is just one solid piece or whatever. With the metal in layers may times it rusts from the inside out. Not entirely sure if thats the kind of answer you were lookin for but yeah. Not sure about other cars but I know mine the rockers are rusted and some of the underbelly, my sills are fine. Hope that helps,
Landen
