Made it to 350,000. When I bought the car, I said this one's going to 350,000. This time I pulled over and drove a bit and stopped when it hit 350,000. Couldn't miss this one.

Can we get photos of the rust on the outside?

Yes. First pic when I bought it, the other three now. I fixed some rust at about 250,000 or so, but it all came back. Only problem with these cars of this vintage was the metal and the metal prep. They started using a higher-strength steel in the facelift 210 models and this is the result.

It's too bad because this car has been the bomb. I'd probably drive it to a million miles even if it meant engine and trans rebuild. But the body, I could not keep up with. A shame.

Actually that rust is not all that terrible, given that it has 350,000 miles on it.
