Uggh! The rusties! It doesn't look like it's coming through from the other side, but my eyes ain't what they used to be. Is there any bubbling of the paint? Maybe a small surface repair is in order.
For future reference, a can of rustproofing spray can easily get to the backside of these panels via holes in the side of the engine bay structure.

I may also have to take off the rear bumper, because rust started where the bumper bolts into. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |

We'll see if I get that repaired.
Another discovery the other day.. looks like I may need a new taillight. There is condensation inside, so there must be a leak somewhere. ![]() Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |

i used to get condensation when running thru the car wash/power wash in the winter.
warm humid air in the cabin condenses in the tail because its essentially all the same air (tail covers have vents, no?)

What a bummer. I'm a little worried what i'm going to find this year. We've had a really bad winter this year. The other week when we had "the beast from the east" they put so much salt on some of the roads out where i live i could actually taste it in the air driving along.

Salt don't worry me too much. Being 12 years old already, and pretty badly maintained, skipped rust proof many years, car go unwashed for months. I am pretty satisfied.
I was thinking doing a clutch job and install the fidanza flywheel, but I'm guessing I'll just live with the stock crappy clutch for another 3-4 years and call it a day with this car. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |
