Glen93 Member 15 Member For: 12y 21d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 10/10/13 10:52 AM Share Posted 10/10/13 10:52 AM Hey everyone there has been a number of times when I've told people I own a G6E Turbo and one of the first things they mention is rust. Apparently FG Falcons are known for having issues with rust (among those people were a couple of panel beaters). I don't know anymore about it than that which is why I was wondering if anyone had any more info on this issue. Like where the rust starts, which part of the car is worst affected, why does this issue exist, is it every car etc. any information would be appreciated. Cheers!

I've heard it's under the hood along seams and around the hinges. Not sure what the explanation for that is though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86477-fg-falcon-rust/#findComment-1432044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
