I know what you mean Dave, the F60S is the same, rust in every place you care to look. Gippsland is notorious for rust but that place is the worst I've seen, everything in that yard was eaten away as if by acid. The air is so damp in that gully, the moisture gets into everything and stays wet for months on end. Check out the distributor in the photo, it's never been rained on but the points springs have corroded through from the damp air. The only protection is to be sealed from the air like your motor. I'm sure it will be a good one, the whole vehicle was clearly in very good condition when it was first parked there. Likewise my F60S, which will also be running shortly.
