At least mine has the excuse of the being the oldest!  There won't be many 28 year old cars that haven't rusted.

What about the exhaust ?  At the end of the day it'd still rusted, like my Caddy.  Not serious, but still rust at the end of the day.

T'is true, British weather is something unexplainable.

My '58 carried her rust for years in Illinois but just one winter over here in the cold and the rust got noticably worse.

She's safely tucked away in the garage, now.

i think the only state that i'm aware of that can rust a car even close to the UK is NY

the UK is the world champion of rusting cars!

Will see how bad the trans am is when i get it in over the winter, however i have a large selection of panels thats just come in from Cali.
