The reason I ask is you are describing rust where it is totally and physically impossible to get.

This is because most of the body work is aluminium, and aluminium does not rust, sure it will still corrode or oxidise but not rust. Electrolosis is a common problem where aluminium and steel components are touching.

The wheel arch has rust clear as day (I can take pics). The rear of my truck around the lights.. ok maybe its not rust but other corrosion but I just see the bubbling right now I didn't dig in yet.. If oxidizing or other corrosion causes bubbling. I stand corrected.

& yes I own a DI.. this is my 2nd land rover.. The RRC had rusted through footwell in drivers side flintsones style, rusted rear window frame, rusted bonnet, rusted bumper, etc. Sorry I spoke out of line on the weld & door bottoms.. what was I thinking? Also.. the original poster was indeed rust specific I am sorry for the confusion. I was listing corrosion problems not just for rust. I Hang my head in shame..
