I presume you live in a location where roads are salted to remove snow. When I lived in a similar location I’d thoroughly wash out my car’s wheel wells after every snow storm at one of those diy’er spray-wand car wash places. Suggest to try that, see if it helps keep the wheel well rust under control.
And what would you like us to do about it?
Well there ya go if you watch the YouTube’s weekend warrior provided. Part from ford, get your tools and welder out, and a weekend or two on a 17 year old car no longer under warranty. Or drive it up to Grand Rapids or where ever the guy is. I would take the screws out though after welding and weld the holes up.
Then again, maybe just time to start over.
Common problem with this vehicle. Fix it or dump it, your choice.
Had an 71 Nova,shocks mounted to the body in the rear, rusted out, Bud welded a plate in, lasted till 92 when I traded it in!
