Seems like the front of the car was completely spared

but the rear part of the trunk, not so much....beside salt and other agents....heat in this area might have accelerated things.

The shock towers seem alright, just dirt all in the seam sealer?

Pictures are kinda weak, but if that's rust around the stiffener in the center, yeah that looks bad, like cut the whole area out bad. We're a bit spoiled in the southwest I guess.

All trunks have / had rust. The rear tail light seals tend to let water in....

Needs some welding, still removing and inventorying parts, before I start the repairs to the body.
