The most cars (diesel) can not drive anymore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi all,
have my "Hungary holiday" used; go to my Red-Lady from the bottom of the rust. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I have the underbody, the rear axle, the tank, the wheel wells, the shocks, all lines on the lower floor (steering, brake, fuel), the propeller shaft, the rear differential, let sandblasting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif

Then had my car 5 small rust holes ("underbody right-front", "underfloor left-behind", "wheel-right-back," "floor plate-trunk", "tail plate-trunk"). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Then my friend (coachbuilder) removed the rust and welded in new plates. All seam seals renewed, all bare attachment parts with "flat-black-paint" finish. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif


All cavities (sill frame) treated with wax.
The subfloor with "rubber Stoneguard" treated, and then the subfloor with "bitumen underseal" painted.


I think this will keep the next few years before new rust comes.
Greetings from Germany

Love the seats! Does Germany use really harsh salts on the road? Your undercarriage looks ready for a rust war

I have long searched until I found the Recaro seats; /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
they both have full equipment, heating ventilation, massage and electro. Adjustment. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
In southern Germany they use in the winter not only salt but lye, rock salt and casting slag. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
Wherefore the prevention so that the car does not rust. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif
12kg bitumen underbody coating and cavity wax 20kg.

Its the same here, thats why I run the Dynamic4 in the winter and the VR4 in the summer. I cant get myself to run a rustfree california car in all that salt.

Nice GTI btw. a mirror image of mine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
