These are built up the road from me. Untreated metal components are frequently left in the rain so they are rusting before they go on the car.

Funny note, Ford's factory roof at the Transit plant is rusted through ...

I'll have to check SWMBO's 'Works Van' then ('04' plated Mondeo TDCi) & see if it's in the same state

i've got a '93 fiesta with 112,000 on the clock, thats going well, burns a bit o' oil and the wire to the alternator corroded through a few months ago (i've had it 6 moths / 5,000 miles now) but thats all (fingers crossed), i'm quite impressed to be honest. No major rust that i can see.
