Today I'm going to look at an NA Miata, decently priced, with just over 100,000 miles. Like nearly all NA Miatas that even so much as resided in a state that uses road salt, this one has some rocker panel rust. I cannot tell how bad from the pictures, but I will see in person later. For the price range that I'm looking in for my area (~$3,300), some rust is to be expected for these cars. If structurally the car is fine, and I really don't care about this car looking amazing (will just be a 3 seasons weekend funmobile), is rust that big of a deal? I'm very handy with repairs, and I also have a friend who works with welding and sheetmetal for a living. So I may fix it. Anything else I should look for when it comes to tracking future rust?
