I drove pizzas in mine, got in it 50-100x a day tracking salty slush in the winter, replaced the driver side floor with plywood around 1987 or so. No other rust worth mentioning, in ten years in Michigan, which is a lot more than I can say for my 1975 Honda or my 1977 Saab. Passenger side of the floor was mint when I pulled the carpet and front seat out to bolt the plywood in. My fuel gauge died around 180k, but for the first six months it would come back briefly if I pounded my fist on the dash. After that I just gassed it up every 300 miles without fail.
