this is part of what i'm facing
the good news is that most of it is surface rust and i caught it at a stage i can treat it and make my car last for quite a few more years.
btw this only looks like this because i took all the surface paint off

i've looked at other mx's of the same age and haven't seen 1 that doesn't have the same type of rusting on the sills. not much to worry about but better to treat it. i still cant believe it's 12 years old lol

Mine was starting to rust on the stills like that. I didn't even notice it at first, I think it started to show up after about the 9-10 year mark.
