I wonder if this cowl rust is a problem inherent to the fox platform?

This was a coupe I had. I started chipping away at a tiny little rust spot......it turned into th If yis. It was actually MUCH worse upward into the cowl area. The rest of the car was completely rust free. It sucked!
sadly it is. The design of the cowl area tends to lead to this kind of rust. Ford did a crappy job of sealing up the area. Couple that with cars in the South- especially by the ocean rust from the top down due to the salt in the air vs up north due to the salt in the road.
I had two options- part it out or fix it and seeing its my baby,,,, i'm going to try and save it.. Luckily my buddy has tackled this type of job many times and is taking the time to do the job right. I should have more pics this weekend when I go see the car
Pretty scary .. If I didnt fix this with the power this car makes, I shudder at what may have happened to me at some point in the future.
