Hi-
I live in Maine and have a 1994 that has spent its whole life here. I cannot say it has been a constant battle, but I have to spend several full days a year keeping after the rust, not to mention a one time project of 3 full days to strip and recoat the area around the windshield. This was BAD. I stripped it down with the windshield out and used several coats of Rustlock a marine primer. It has been fine since.
Other areas include under the doors, up near the front spoiler, wheel wells near the trim. As we speak the car is at an auto body shop as I have more money than time at this moment. Again, under the doors is the culprit. Good luck. I have kept this car much longer than if I had let everything go, but I did buy my most recent car (2000 Aero) from a fellow in NC to try to avoid as much work this time.
Mike
