Live in north east. Normaly salt and rust. But this car hasn’t seen winter in over 25 years. Car has Zero rust, but.. that piece you see is a little support bracket that holds the bumper in place. I noticed a little rust as it was bent at some point, cracked and moister got in. Covered over years of crud, until I inspected it. So I cleaned it out and sprayed it. I’ll paint it too.
If I can get a new one I will if not, welding it is.
Agreed with brass and it was wondering about that plating. My try a thin coat of rust proofing oil.
I wonder about the muffler..
