Thanks for the info Daniel,
I think I'm going to have a long line of B's in my driveway waiting to be drilled!

Derek,

Hope you have a really long driveway, cause we see more and more b's in Montreal. I don't know if it's because I own one, I remark them more ... !

That's so true. In the downtown or west end, we see so many B's, it's a shame the US didn't pick up on this class of car.

I would not worry about it in CA or coastal BC, where I live. I passed a 1972 Toyota Corolla in excellent shape on the road last night, if you get my drift

If you do not plan to keep your B for a long time, then it probably won't be a problem.
But all the B's with the old design will eventually rust through at the front 2 points.
The water is 100% trapped in 2 low points as explained in the beginning of this post.
When you open the hood, the water drains out and drips on the headlight lens. It's a tricky fix, but very doable.

The rest of the body seems very well designed but the newer hoods have been redesigned because of this early goof-up.
