Some of the rust is pretty typical and is to be expected...

Typical:
Crossmember (if you bottom out the rustproof)
Exhaust
M-Brace (same as crossmember)
diff bolts


The rest of the car is weird... I never had any rust in those areas....


But if you look at our quarter panel designs, it's highly unlikely to have quarter panel rust as they actually coated the inside as well as providing proper water drain out for it.

We don't usually get as much snow here in TO as you guys do in Montreal but we sure did get a lot this year.

How are the roads in Monteral this year lots of pot holes I would guess?

yea driving my Z this winter wasn't that bad. however, I do have a little surface rust in some places I didn't expect. I knew the diff but had a few spots in other places. I'm gonna hit it with some paint though. anyone paint the rust on the diffs?
