Hello peeps me and the wife have just sold our S1 and i was starting to look at saph cossies but she doesnt like them BUT does like the escorts and is paying the difference

. So weve started to look for one but my question is:
Do they rust/rot like all other fords???
Im a little bit worried as our S1 was a bugger and had loads of welding underneath.
The cossie will be the everyday car, all weather etc....
And will it be reliable???
