We have cars here that are over 20 years old with no rust..Climate I guess...No rust on my 166 whatsoever...All bolts come off clean and easy...Small suggestion for rustproofing undersides....Spray before
winter with diesel...But you'll need a petrol station or a car wash place that does it..Diesel is a good cleaner and protector..
Yep Dafi thar's the price we pay here for the miseable climate.
If you think that is bad you should have seen my late father's old Austin Cambridge.What you could see was immaculate but underneath the car was gone.
28 yaers ago I went to Barbados for a holiday and it was like a history lesson. All the old model cars which I had seen as a boy were running around in pristine condition as if they had just left the showroom whereas all the British ones were in the scrapyards many years earlier.
As you say prevention better than cure and there was a large market here for undersealing companies in the 70's when cars fell apart a lot sooner.
So if you are listening God ,how about a more equitable distribution of the worlds weather and eveything else too.(But keep all the 166's for a select few
)And if it's not too much too ask can you teach Gordon Brown the 3 R's so he can work out the road tax correctly and admit he's made a massive blunder the way he has allowed it to go.
