Not that I've found unless it's inside somewhere I can't see, like
inside
the frame (Athol has a gadget for looking in there). Certainly none in
doors, fenders, roof, engine bay, etc.
Being galvanealled I don't see any reason for any panel rust unless
that has become so far damaged to expose the tin. For extra measure
when it was new I painted the inside bottom areas of the doors with
polyester resin being carefull not to block the drain holes by leaving
a raised ridge.
And it's been by the ocean for it's entire life. Mind you the 1993
'rolla that has lived at the same location all it's life has needed
rust
repairs.
