I had surface rust, but nothing more. It is thankfully solid in there. The reason I am in there at all is that there were rust colored cracks under the grills in the new (to me) car that I bought and I poked/inspected all potential rust areas as soon as I got it to get a handle on what needed to be done. It turned out that the rust color was just surface rust in the cracks between the original primer which had contracted/shrunk over the years.

I have already taken all of the wiper system out. It's all cleaned and being painted. You can see pictures of that in the wiper thread.
