Current read

Low visible rust risk

No major zones are selected yet. Treat this as a starting point only; cowl, floors, rails, and torque boxes still need physical inspection.

Open rust guide Print checklist

Cowl and front floors

Cowl leaks are expensive because water enters hidden structure and front floor areas before the damage is obvious.

Rails, rockers, torque boxes

These areas affect structure. Serious corrosion here should change the price, inspection depth, or decision.

Trunk, quarters, wheelhouses

Common rust does not always kill a deal, but it must be priced with labor, panels, and paint work in mind.

What to do next

Decide what the rust needs next.

Rust risk is only useful when it changes the next ask: cowl proof, repair budget, seller photos, or walk-away discipline.

Check cowl leak risk Separate visible rust from hidden water risk. Estimate rust cost Turn severity into budget reserve. Request inspection photos Ask for the photos that change the decision.
Tool notes and references

What this tool can tell you

Record visible rust and decide what needs closer inspection.

A visual score cannot determine the extent of hidden damage. Ask an experienced inspector or repairer to assess the structure.
