Actually this car came front Montreal, and I am fighting some rust issues. The spring perches were done before I bought it, but the rockers are soft in a couple spots, and there's a small hole in the trunk. The more I read, the more I'm thinking I'll have to check for rust in the battery compartment. Maybe there's a hole in there, causing moisture that's wreaking havock.
