also worth noting if you intend on keeping the car (which i assume you do !) is to remove the sill covers and repair any bits you find under there. virtually guaranteed that there will be some holes ,same goes for the inner rear lower arches under the black plastic cover /sill ends. once repaired and suitably rust proofed you should be ok for many years then. (whilst this area is being done it might be a good idea to replace the rear end of the sill and up the arch inside the rear door area as they all seem to rust there too (eventually if not now ?)!. i did mine 10 years ago shortly after i got it and just rechecked them again this summer. all still good.
all cars rust .possibly even new ones eventually with their better protection ( if the electrics dont get them first !) but omegas dont fare too badly at all especially if youve spent a lifetime working on pre 90's stuff and way older which often were rotten after only a few years.
