Morning All
Having owned many rusty piles of crack from the fine car makes of England ,,,, including a 1964 MG 1100 and a Land Rover TD5 all of which where amazing like a iron oxide in its raw form :?
Now sold the MIG welder and rather keen on spending my weekends driving a nice car rather than bashing bits of tin over a range of holes or working out how the access holes for MOT checks
Looking at piles of chopped up Z4 body shells on e-Bay its looks as BMW did a fair job of rust proofing the cars from new , so the question is do I dust of the wax oil injection kit and crank up my compressor for a weekend of wax oil injection along with the underside of the car given a good spraying over
History of the car is / was stored in a undercover and appears little in the way of corrosion to fixing and parts underneath , however the car is now stored out side , will not be used on roads which have been salted or gritted, I have noted some minor surface rusting the rear axel trailing arm floor pocket which is going the get sorted , and the rear brake lines and just starting to show their age :!:
Long-term plan is the keep the car until I retire cir 15years weekend fun and trips to south of France being the reason for buying it , by this time the car will be 23 years old and hopefully in better condition than the bulk of the past cars I have owned
So over to the more informed members for help and advice , PS I like getting down and dirty
Kind regards Mark
