I paid about $1,300 to have my windshield pillars practically rebuilt last year. Windshield out, sandblasted, new metal welded in, rust treated and painted. The body shop guy told may it last last "maybe a year". It's been more than a year and no sign of any rust returning yet. I had some water leaks before the repair, so it had to be done or I was getting rid of the car. I figure if I need to spend $1,300 every 2 years or so to fix this, it's still cheaper than a newer car.
My shock towers and wheel arches are surprisingly still fine with $175k of New England miles on the clock. Keeping my fingers crossed there...
