Someone here has a 2 door white one and uses it as a daily driver. It has no rear bumper that I'm aware of but I don't remember seeing rust. It even still has the dealer badge from the Pontiac/Cadillac dealer here who sold the Fiats back then.
Rust - Japanese cars were not properly galvanized until the 1980s (or even 1990s for some). Plus a lot of those cars weren't well taken care of then, some people beat them up and saw them as "expendable."
The dreaded tin worm (rust) reared its ugly head. Datsuns of the 60's and 70's used a thin gauge of steel back then. It's too bad, my neighbor had a modified Datsun 510 that could perform just as well as a BMW 2002 of the same vintage.
