not too bad and i was aware of it when i bought the car. i guess i would like to solicit inputs on some of the techniques the forum members apply.
some rust related items on my '73 es:
1.rust on the frame immediately below the glass on the rear hatch.
2.when rainnng, water seems to run down the a post and leaks in at the top foward part of the door. also, some rust around the old weather stripping on the bottom of the doors.
3. some surface rust on the wheels.
...
when i had the u joints replaced recently, the mechanic commented on how good the underside looks concerning rust, so i'm happy about that.
...
would like to get inputs on what some members do with existing rust. (grind it off and seal the remaining structure?) i guess i could take it to a body shop and get an estimate, but nothing is cheap anymore.
...
also, not a big problem, but when traversing bumps at moderate speeds, i get a few rattles. would appreciate comments on the most common source of most rattles.
thanks in advance.
