I would rather replace/rebuild EVERY part of the drivetrain,interior,wiring etc. than deal with rust. I paid thousands more for my car just to avoid all of the fun I had with the rusty ones I owned before.The rust never seems too bad when you start but once you start grinding,cutting and blasting it gets bigger so fast it will blow your mind! And then you find more you didn't know about when you first bought it.It can be overwhelming fast! I bought my car more or less a rolling body so every area was easy to inspect. Made it a lot easier.Just my two cents worth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
