Re: strut towers 200 1987

Just so long as bare metal isn't showing anywhere, you should be all right. Undercoating is good.

More importantly is the spring support. The little holes in it can be plugged by debris and road garbage. Stones and dirt collect inside of it. Wash that thing out, since it's more likely to be problematic than is a corroded strut tower, especially on the last generation 240.

Keep your eye on the seams inside the engine compartment for any signs of rust (strut tower seams).
