Rust proofing the body???

DJ-of-E · 07-26-2011, 06:36 PM

It's kinda hard to find a Japanese car made after 1986 with rust on the body. Bolts and cambers, yes, but not body panels. The only time I see it rust is if

A) It was sent to the ocean.
B) There was damage on body panel and it was never taken care of.
C) Replacement panel with lower grade metal/painting
D) Bad paint job that traps water.

Other than that...my 1991 240sx paint looks like crap...but still no rust. Not bad for a 20 year old car. However, I've seen lot of Japanese cars before 1986 with a whole lot of rust.

You obviously don't live where salt is dumped on the roads in winter.
