theyre not rust stains..... its rust. you have to grind out the rusted parts, or purchase new replacement parts.

Holy shit, snow did that? Did you have your hood up when it snowed or something? Maybe you have acid snow in MA. I just can't see how snow would do that unless it was covered in snow for like 2 years straight. It looks like a flood damaged car to me but if you say it's snow damage then whatever.

its going to be a pain in the ass to remove all that rust..... you wil have to disassemble almost all the rusted parts to replace them or use a grinder/sander and repaint/retreat them.

Snow does that. My car is from Montreal and I had work done on it in Florida. The guy put it on the lift and looked at the underbody and told me he never seen that before.

Thats the constant salting the roads for you

Masterking, I can't see your photos anymore. I'd like to compare your rust to what I have too.

Anyways, I just bought a 1999 Honda Accord LX in Massachusetts recently too and the engine is rusted! It's only at 66,000 miles too. I carfaxed it and it had only one owner, and NO accidents.











As you can see, the exterior and interior are in very good condition, it's just the rust on the engine I worry about. Is this normal?
