....as promised i got some more pics of my wagon today after doing some homework, it almost looks out of place on the street i parked at.

 

pretty much the worst of the cancer...

 

 

Not bad at all. You should see some of our east coast subies. You wont even need a sawzall to fix that rust.

 

Nice car!

Not too bad and stoppable at this stage. Talk too your auto paint people for advice.

 

My 2 cents: Here is advice I got from others on the site

To treat rusted area use "Rust-Mort" basicly remove dirt, large chunks and brush on. Let it sit a day and do it again. Then primer over and paint, but better yet cover with "Pro-15" sealer.

subaru_noob, that's not too bad. You should've seen the huge 5" X 6" or 7" hole that was rusted into the rear quarter panel on my '88 GL-10 when I got it. That wasn't fun to fix at all.

yah right now i'm just looking to stop the rust and keep the engine going. as much as i'd like to take her out and do some offroading, she's gonna be a pavement princess until i can get something else for a daily:banghead:

that car is not a Idaho Car it's whole life i will be money on that.

also, its POR-15 (paint over rust treatment, or paint on rust treatment) but for sure not a Idaho car, it was driven ioutside of idaho in salt land to get that rust

it actually was in mccall since '83 and they can get pretty bad about salting the roads (they get about 5' of snow a year)

this is an eastern subie, in the rust belt of mid michigan

My 88 GL wagon is almost rust-free. I think that the car has eluded the rust monster by never stopping, the Blue Meanie has over 237k miles!

 

I had a '56 Hudson that had a rust problem. I used a spray treatment that looked like primer, but it stopped the rust from spreading. It was like a cancer cure in a can!
