    has anybody's car started to rust at all? i have a little spot under the gas door where it seems like somebody nicked it with the gas pump early in the car's life i want to get fixed. and the rocker panels underneath are getting iffy, noticed it when i had to fix the brakes. it's been in ohio all it's life, it takes it's toll. it is 10 years old and it's been a daily driver for a couple people. definitely not babied before i got it. anybody else experiencing something like this?

    yeah, take a look at my pics....Car Exterior pictures by madmonkeyphotos - Photobucket

    the gas one will get wickedly worse becuase 9 times out of 10 its because people drip gas there and never wipe it up..

    currently im not fixing my rockers, im gonna stop em from getting worse and cover up to look nicer.. the rest of the rust is almost all gone

    to replace the rockers is gonna be a couple of grand.. quote from dealership on all body work was 4g.
    so far im $400 in, and you can see how it looks so far. the hardest part is prep, that and this is my daily driver so im driving around town looking like a cheap-O
