Rust call that RUST!!!


You don't know what Rust is until you have had a FIAT for 20 years

hi sorry to put a downer on things was the door replaced ? if not the rust will come back in a very short time once the door has been reskined no matter how well you have resealed it wax oiled it , zinc sprayed the frame before fitting a new skin, i know i have fitted hundreds , rust always comes thru along the bottem edge, thats way car makers like bmw vw don`t make replacement door skins , your best bet next time is to get a good second hand door, as for all these rust cures you can by , there like that good old snake oil

Well... it has lasted a minimum of 3 years that I know of, quite possibly a lot longer. If it lasts another 3 years I won't complain.

Only seen one rusty 75

Rear wheel arch rotted right through to the passenger door opening.
Car owned by a local farmer cow poo and dirt had got up behind the rear wheel arch liners they like the front ones have water and dirt traps

Autumn approaches so time to remove clean waxoyl and refit methinks
