I'm lucky in the rust department. Although the car has some rust, since our winters are really mild hear in the Peidmont of the Carolina's about all I have is some surface rust and a couple small holes where are common rust points on the older Escorts. I used to try to keep them filled with bondo and primed, but then I decided the rust didn't look no worse than the primer spots.

Just think I have another '88 Escort that I bought back in the summer that only has 79,XXX miles on it. If it lasts as many miles as the the Pony has it will probably out last me.
