Rust pics?
How much rust is on your 3rd gen?

Last year I coated everything except the exhaust with boiled linseed oil. I also sprayed Deep Creep into the rocker panels, they are still clean and gray inside.

I live in a wet climate, the exhaust pipes and muffler are rusted over:

I'd cry if I saw a Maxima looking like this poor Accord from Alaska

Probably the most annoying place to get rust.


This was after cutting out what was weakened from cancer.


I did repair the rear wells last year... I bought this car when I lived in Vermont, Damn salt.

Damn mine looks like it went through the asteroid belt, I'd love to have it painted but I'd be looking at $2-3 to have someone do it well.

I like the way your white goes all the way down, it seems to make the car look fuller.

Thats the kind of perverted $h!t I was looking for!

I've noticed the tar-like factory coating is wearing off and the body color is showing through my rear wells. I keep that lip clean and coated it with linseed oil.
