Rusted Frame Pics ??? - UPDATE - Healthy Frame Pics ???

Post by RegencyRoyale »

If anyone has any pictures of rusted out/not safe to drive frames please post them. I've only been able to find these (link) pics via search but this is the sort of thing I'm looking for.

Thanks

Thanks! Just what I needed. I'm looking for the opposite now - pictures of healthy frames.

Move somewhere they don't use salt on the roads in winter.

The only rust I've found on either of my cars is a tiny amount on the front swaybar inside the frame bushings. It wiped off.
