Mustang 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The paint on the rear trunk hatch is falling off. And in some other areas. It's not because of any accident or wear an tear. It all seems to be cause of either cheap paint or after the car was painted it was baked to long or dried in the sun too long or how ever you dry them.

My 1997 mustang has rusted through the trunk floor. The frame below is also rusting. The frame supports the rear bumper, which protects the gas tank.
