All 4 fenders are rusting, so probably need to treat them to halt the deterioration.

I take for granted the lack of rust here where they don't salt the roads.

Another thing I think I prefer is the 12v battery is located in the rear inside the cabin, under the floor. This makes experimenting with alternative batteries more feasible since theoretically the temperatures are better controlled. Probably not possible to keep it from freezing in WI winters though.
