I gave a tug on the belt near the anchor bolt and it threatened to pull out of the body. That was all I needed to see.
I have a photo somewhere of the belt anchor pulled out of an Eagle at the wreckers, but can't find it.

The cracked windshield could be a sign of some flexing going on and that is why I asked but it could be completely unrelated. Is it on the same side as the worst rust? Still you do have plenty to work with.
