thats from a previous owner neglecting a leaking brake master cylinder. the fluid leaked out past the seal on the piston and dripped down and ate the paint and coating off of the body. eventually after sitting outside and being neglected, the rust began to set in. thats why its important to take care of the leak right away.

that's just from brake fluid. the paperwork i got with the car is all from florida, even down to the previous registration. the car hadnt been up in OH long, maybe three years or so and was not driven in the winter.
