Low humidity environment and lack of road salt is the key to longevity apparently. Just don't look at my interior!

...And I thought they left the factory with rust holes...

I came to California in the Summer of 1969 from New England and was flabbergasted at the 1930's cars still being used as beaters, no rust and most with decent original paint no less .
Sadly, my Coupe's backlight grommet is bad and there's a small rust hole just below it and bubbles are beginning to appear in the paint moving upwards .

You need to do something about it - bubbles ain't good

I've got a few mad things planned for fixing this car - I hope to add quite a bit to this thread.
Because of the little d and all that time in storage the work I did previously has more or less been wasted. It has, however, been a good test for POR15 products...
...I think they've failed. I'll be posting evidence soon.
