Hi
I did a full restoration of a 1977 Lancia Spyder in the late 80's - in the UK which was always BAD because of salt on the roads
There were no worse than any other car of that date which means they were bad - awful by modern standards
Back then the paint used was porous - if there was anywhere where the wet mud got trapped the water would hydraulic the paint from the metal
I did a bare metal respray and fixed all of that
Which left the Italian electrics - the problem was corrosion inside the connectors in the loom
A lot of this was down to the UK environment - maybe you will be ok
