Here my '90 Firebird after a new windshield, washing, and waxing.

The pics seem to hide the rust, although i didn't really get any closeup shots of those spots either

I've already bought new fenders, doors, hood, and quarters. Gotta love New England

My 88 Formula is from Ohio, and that thing is ate up. The drivers side floor pan is bad, the drivers side strut tower is toast, and the pass side tower is running a close 2nd in the rusting away dept. I have rust in both doors, and both quarter panels. I recently bought a 88 standard firebird thats from here in NC with 0 rust, and its getting a facelift, and the Formulas goodies. Maybe once its off the road I can save it but not while driving it back and forth to work.
