Thanks for the link.

I spent a good deal of time under my coupe this summer, replacing the exhaust system. I saw lots of surface rust on some to the rear suspension components, but certainly nothing like this recent thread:

W126 HORRIFYING rust discovery! Help/Opinions wanted...

Pulling out the carpets have revealed nothing there either. The floorboards are sound. I've looked for rot in places indicated on the rust thread, and have found nothing yet. Rust is funny stuff. How could it have such severe local damage, but not all over the car? From sitting unmoved in the weather for so long?

Its too bad our diesel's automatic rust prevention mechanism works only in the front of the car, not elsewhere.
