Do Boxsters rust....

Yes the beauty of aluminum is it just disappears.

My 93 RRC, the drivers side floor rusted out, the bulkhead on my 72 series III 109 turned to swiss cheese, the undercarriage on my 03 HSE is pitted and the powder coat is flaking off, my 93 NAS 110 had rust issues if I was not constantly vigilant.

Land Rover stole the secret formula for rust from Alfa Romeo

I have ten bucks at Vegas that TR was not driven in winters where road salt is used ubiquitously.

Bad bet! I live in Cincinnati and the city turns our roads into the Salar de Uyuni every time their is a threat of a dusting. If you look at the pic I still have my ugly brown winter hard top on. There are two sneaky reasons that this car has lasted, it was always washed when returned home and when it was new it was Ziebarted. My Father that gave me the car was a Leyland enthusiast and always had his MGs and TRs ziebarted when he bought them.

It sure as hell wasn't the Ziebart, especially the way they applied it in those days, many times drilling and placing plugs. I suspect the "salt city" drops more ordnance. It's an off year but last year won the golden snowball with 192" let's see Cincy come close in it's entire history to that..

PS Car looks superb for shizzle.

By no way do we get the white death that you do but my city does act like it. My Tr does have the pugs in the bottom of the doors along with other various places.

Rovers do rust I am just lucky with my Disco1. I feel ya on the bulkhead problem, here is my Series II that I am changing the bulkhead and welding in two new outriggers below the front seats. It is amazing how crapping British steel and a seal do not get along together
